Off-Grid Luxury Smart Homes

This Autonomous Smart Home Runs Solely on Solar Power

— May 28, 2018 — Eco
This futuristic smart home is powered by solar energy and is even fitted with water and sewage systems. From Swedish company IO House, the sustainable smart home is described as an "off-grid luxury vacation home" and is suitable for any climate.

The IO House is changing the entire concept of smart homes. The smartphone-controlled home is completely mobile. It is manufactured in a closed factory, which means it can be installed on a piece of land without any construction. This gives future homeowners an opportunity to live where access is limited, be it mountains, fjords, golf courses or even islands. The smart home also has the potential to offer a great resale value, since it is not endlessly posted to a certain location.

Every house goes through a monitored quality check, which means there are no corners cut in production. The PREMIUM version of the house even comes with luxury Italian furniture and fittings. This is something that can be truly named an all-inclusive smart home.
Trend Themes
1. Off-grid Living - Developing off-grid living solutions that allow people to live in remote areas.
2. Sustainable Smart Homes - Designing smart homes that run on renewable energy sources and have water and sewage systems to promote sustainable living.
3. Mobile Smart Homes - Creating modular smart homes that can be built at a factory and installed on any piece of land in any location, offering people a new level of mobility.
Industry Implications
1. Renewable Energy - Providing renewable energy solutions that power smart homes and promote off-grid living.
2. Modular Construction - Manufacturing smart homes in factories using modular construction techniques to make the installation process quicker and more flexible.
3. Luxury Real Estate - Incorporating smart home technology and renewable energy sources into luxury real estate to increase resale value and offer buyers a sustainable living option.
