6/9/2005 - The Fantastic Futuro House

The Futuro house was one of the coolest "homes of the future" and one that actually saw production. Designed by Matti Suuronen, this fiberglass wonder was made for a brief period in the early 70s till the spike in oil prices (and hence plastic prices) killed the company. There are still a number of Futuros around the world and it'd be a dream to own and restore on. Till then, I'll just have to settle for sketching it.

The book "Futuro: Tomorrow's House from Yesterday" has a wealth of information and even a DVD with film clips of the home. A great book which can be ordered here.
