AI shows how UK homes could look in 2050 – including robot assistants and vertical gardens

2025 marks a quarter way through the 21st century, but what’s in store for our homes in another 25 years?

Housebuilder has used cutting edge technology to generate realistic AI images of what the average UK home could look like in 2050.

Avant Homes head of architectural design, Tom Smith, said: “AI is giving us a glimpse of what could be reality for new homes within the next 25 years.”

The AI predictions have revealed an astonishing transformation in the way we live, blending sustainable and intelligent home design with sci-fi style tech, such as holographic and robotic home assistants.

Sustainability and convenience are aspects predicted to be built into every UK home by 2050 .

As technology continues to evolve, our homes will become greener, smarter and more intuitive than ever before.

Tom Smith added: “As technology advances, so will the way we design and interact with our homes. By 2050, homes will be smarter, more efficient and tailored to how we live and responsive to any change in climate.

Fully electrified homes, wireless power, AI-managed green spaces and climate-responsive materials aren’t just futuristic concepts. They are realistic advancements that could transform the way we live within a generation.”

Here are eight amazing new home features AI has predicted:

1. Adaptive smart homes: Houses that learn from and respond to daily routines, adjusting lighting and temperature to optimise comfort and efficiency.

2. Cooling techniques for a warming world: Climate-responsive home design will ensure houses remain cool as global temperatures rise.

3. Drone security systems: AI-controlled drones will provide real-time surveillance for homeowners able to sense and react to movement.

4. Holographic and robotic home assistants and augmented reality (AR): Interactive, real-time 3D projections for managing household tasks, entertainment and security while AR will revolutionise home entertainment and shopping.

5. Solar-integrated windows: Transparent solar panels embedded into windows, generating renewable energy without compromising natural light.

6. Sustainable, self-powered homes: Energy-efficient living powered by solar, wind and kinetic energy, ensuring homes generate their own electricity with near-zero carbon footprints.

7. Vertical gardens: Self-sustaining, AI-managed green walls that enhance air quality, grow food and bring nature into the home.

8. Wireless EV charging: Built-in charging points that make powering electric vehicles as simple as parking, no cables required
