A COVENTRY housebuilder celebrated its 50th birthday by creating a new role ‘Archi-tot of the future’.
Redrow Midlands is calling on youngsters from Coventry to design a house which will be suitable for 50 years time – 2074.
From age four to 16 from across the Midlands, applications close on May 17 at midnight.
The winner will receive a prize of £100, and the school or college of the winner will get £150 in artwork vouchers, as well as their design buried in a time capsule ready to open in 50 years.
The design must be energy efficient and sustainable whilst also suiting the needs of an ultra-modern family.
The house can be as creative as you like, from wallpaper that changes colour depending on someones mood, to a fridge that restocks itself.
The Midlands winner will join the other regions Archi-tots, and there will be an overall winner announced later in the year.
Elaine Cartwright, sales director for Redrow Midlands, said: “From convertible roofs for those hot summer nights, to self-tinting windows and robot gardeners who mow the lawn, we’re looking for the most adventurous and ambitious designs
“We’re committed to bringing young people into the construction sector and are recognised by the industry for our training excellence and apprenticeship programme.”
