Redrow Midlands, which is currently building at Radbourne View in Derby, is calling on the county’s youngsters to design a house suitable for 2126 – some 100 years from now.  

 Whether it’s wallpaper that changes depending on your mood, a fridge that restocks automatically or a bathroom that cleans itself, the design must suit the needs of ultra-modern family life while being energy efficient and built sustainably.  

 The role is open to four-to-16-year-olds across the region, who will need to submit their ‘house of the future’ design to [email protected].

 The winning archi-tot will not only receive a £100 prize but will also see their design placed in a time capsule and buried in the ground at Radbourne View, ready to be unearthed in a century’s time. 

 Imaginative youngsters across the region have until midnight on Friday 16 October to submit their entries. The winner will join other successful archi-tots chosen by Redrow regions across the UK, with one overall champion to be announced later this year.
