Interesting article from the Home & Garden section of the Financial Times regarding how stately homes of the rich and famous will change. Many of these changes will trickle down to the rest of us, so it's worth paying attention.
There were 10 trends listed but a lot of them we've heard before. Homes will be more energy efficient. They will integrate the natural world more seamlessly. They will be more of a cocoon/sanctuary than they are now – which I can't fathom. They will be controlled by computers/iPhones. Of course they will be more private since paparazzi haunts us all at every corner.
The one that I intrigued me most was the elimination of plastic as a material of choice. It's a horrible material from an environmental standpoint but has been very popular. Case in point, the Ghost Chair from Phillippe Stark, pictured above.
