Electricity Futuristic Major Plays Suburban Tomorrow 1929
EDITORS COMMENTS
This cut-away print showcases the House of Tomorrow, a visionary domestic design concept from 1929 that revolutionized the way we think about modern living. Designed by architects George Fred Keck and George Grant Elmslie, this futuristic residence was a significant milestone in American suburban architecture, heralding the arrival of a new era in which electricity would play a major part in shaping the contours of our homes. The House of Tomorrow, exhibited at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, was a radical departure from traditional domestic architecture. Its sleek, streamlined design, with its smooth curves and open floor plan, was a stark contrast to the boxy, compartmentalized houses of the time. The house was designed to maximize the use of natural light and ventilation, with large windows and skylights that brought the outdoors in. At the heart of this innovative design was the extensive use of electricity. The House of Tomorrow featured an array of advanced electrical appliances, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, and vacuum cleaner, all of which were integrated seamlessly into the living space. The house also boasted an automatic lighting system that responded to occupancy and a central heating and cooling system that regulated temperature and humidity levels. This historical print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into a time when the promise of electricity transformed the way we lived, worked, and played in our homes. The House of Tomorrow may have been a product of its time, but its enduring influence on the evolution of modern architecture and domestic design is a testament to the power of innovation and the limitless potential of human ingenuity.
