How will we be living tomorrow?

How we live, think and act today shapes our future. Futurologists define urbanisation, individualisation, mobility, neo-ecology, ‘new work’ and other megatrends as drivers that influence our lifestyle and how we imagine the world to look in the future. What effects do these long-term global changes have on how we live, work and build?

Modular construction holds the answer to the requirements of future buildings.

The houses of the future are flexible, sustainable and high quality

When we look for types of housing that offer great flexibility for new concepts and changing circumstances while being environmentally friendly and sustainable at the same time, the search quickly leads to timber construction. Above all, modular construction, highly efficient and prefabricated in series, combined with timber as a construction material holds the answer to the requirements of modern and future buildings. Whether it’s to provide more space in the shortest possible time frame, extend buildings, add extra storeys or create new high-quality buildings.

The Swatch building is the new landmark of the city of Biel. It elegantly demonstrates the forms that modern timber construction can take. ©️Photos: Swatch Ltd.  Visit: blumer-lehmann.ch/swatch
