Abstract

The concept of home is deeply ingrained in our lives. It is the space where we experience joy, sorrow, and growth. From the moment we are born, our homes become the backdrop of our lives, shaping our personal history in profound ways. However, as we stand on the threshold of a new era, the notion of home is undergoing a radical transformation. In response to the pressing need to anticipate and adapt to these changes, this ground-breaking book sets out on a journey to undertake a comprehensive ‘horizon scan’ of future homes. By systematically examining potential trends, innovations, and disruptors, we aim to shed light on what our homes may look like in approximately ten years’ time. The chapter also presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book.
