This print captures the essence of progress at the Future Home 2000 construction site in Milton Keynes. Located in Coleshill Place, Bradwell Common, this innovative structure was built by Super Homes specifically for its feature on BBC's The Money Programme. As part of the Milton Keynes Development Corporations Home World 81 exhibition, it stood as a testament to energy conservation. Amongst the 36 show homes built by various companies from around the world, Future Home 2000 stood out with its unique design and forward-thinking features. Constructed with timber and brick, this angular house showcased both contrasting elements and energy efficiency. Its standout feature was a south-facing double-height conservatory that maximized passive solar gains while housing panels for water heating.

This print not only documents the physical construction process but also symbolizes innovation and sustainability. With people diligently working amidst scaffolding, this image encapsulates the dedication put into creating a home that embraced cutting-edge technology while prioritizing environmental consciousness.
