The 2004 Houses of the Future project which will feature six houses, each made of a different base material. Each architect-designed house will be environmentally-sustainable, affordable and futuristic:

   


The brief

Each house design had to be:

• Pre-fabricated for easy transportation, and to allow erection on site in less than 4 days;

• Environmentally sustainable with sensitive use of materials, rainwater recycling, use of solar panels and passive solar design;
• Compliant with the NSW BASIX ratings tool;

• Designed by an Architect; and

• Futuristic in appearance and use of domestic space.

Sydney Olympic Park Authority wishes to thank Multiplex for providing the overall project management of the Houses of the Future project.
