Microsoft’s View on The Future [Video]

This is an interesting video on The Next Web, where everything is done digitally, as seen by Microsoft. Kurt DelBene, President of the Microsoft Office Division stated:  “People often ask me what Microsoft’s view is on the future of productivity. I think one of the best ways to answer a question like that is to show our vision by sharing a new concept video.” The film is said to “help tell the story we see unfolding in technology, and how it will impact our lives in the future. The video shows our vision for a future where technology extends and highlights our productive capabilities; it helps us manage our time better, focus our attention on the most important things, and foster meaningful connections with the people we care about”. This is idea of a digitalized world that jumps for ahead. via

This concept is based upon the contrast between exterior and interior. From the outside it appears as a big nest, only the scale separating it from other nests in the vicinity. Discreet windows are almost hidden by the network of branches.

Inside it’s a high standard room with modern design. A coachwork panel decorates the inner wall. There is space and beds for a family with two children. The bedroom is a separate room with sliding doors. You access the nest by a retractable staircase.

Year built: 2010

Architect: Inredningsgruppen | Bertil Harström

Number of beds: Four beds (one double bed and two single child beds)
