This print showcases the remarkable Future Home 2000, a groundbreaking construction project located in Milton Keynes. Built by Super Homes specifically for its appearance on the BBC's The Money Programme, this architectural marvel was part of the renowned Home World 81 exhibition organized by the Milton Keynes Development Corporation. As part of an energy conservation theme, this timber and brick house stands out with its angular design and innovative features. The double-height conservatory facing south allows for passive solar gains, while water heating panels contribute to its eco-friendly nature. Equipped with various heating and power generation systems, this home became a subject of interest as The Money Programme closely monitored its performance for an entire year after being sold. The photograph captures not only the impressive structure itself but also provides a glimpse into the construction process. Scaffolding surrounds the building as workers diligently carry out their tasks, showcasing their dedication to bringing this vision to life. With its contrasting elements of traditional materials and modern design principles, this image symbolizes progress and energy efficiency in architecture during the 1980s. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant pursuit of creating sustainable living spaces that harmonize with nature.
