Using the advanced techniques of airoponics, which helps grow plants without soil, various scientists from the USA and Israel have decided to create tree abodes for the future, a very eco-friendly housing solution for the future. The whole project is being supported by Plantware, and the first prototype home could be ready in just 10 years. They have already experimented in creating bus shelters, park benches and traffic lights from their unique growing techniques.
These homes will be constructed from actual tree roots to any design specification and will come equipped with a host of eco-friendly features such as solar panels and wind harvesting fans. The self-sufficient dwellings will draw power from clean energy sources and recycle human waste into valuable nutrients for the living trees. With this you can expect to have reduced heating bills, because when the deciduous trees shed the leaves, these homes will have more heat. And in the summer, the leaves will provide shade and shelter.

A very smart and practical “green” concept .Just what our poor little earth engulfed in pollution needs. A very scientifically natural way to purify the air .breathing fresh already? You can hold that thought for a decade though. But this wait will be worth the results.

If Jettsons consider themselves as more of terrestrial beings then here is what they should look forward to. Called “Reboot,” this concept-based house by Victor Vetterlein would surely be in demand once it becomes functional. Designed and developed to be absolutely self-sufficient together with energy collecting solar paint, wind turbines and a rainwater collection system; it can be witnessed as an effective hydroelectric boost. Calculating gamut of renewable energy options, it offers a possibility of erecting a featured-packed and contemporary design both conceptually and in performance.

Other technology-driven features of this conceptual house include its voice activated house controls and terminals that provides connectivity between your computer and phone line.
