\"Anchor-home-1\"<\/a>Anchor, England\u2019s largest not-for-profit provider of retirement properties,\u00a0envisages us retiring to high tech homes offering virtual yoga classes and even a virtual pet<\/h3>\n

Homes that make living easy and people less lonely are key to ensuring a happy retirement. No one can argue with that. But now Anchor, has come up with what that home will look like and how technology can help solve the problems that come with moving into old age.<\/p>\n

Computer\u00a0generated images certainly push the boundaries in terms of innovation and design, depicting a cylindrical home which can be adapted and customised. Buyers can choose everything from\u00a0the amount of\u00a0internal\/external space they would like to the size, shape and style of the garden. The house even rotates on a turntable, offering both sunlight and shade.<\/p>\n

The homes\u00a0would be in a village and connected via a series of linking bridges which help foster a sense of community. Covered winter gardens and parks\u00a0would mean they could be used all year round and encourage retirees to live a more active and healthy life. They would also provide\u00a0opportunities to meet and interact with others.<\/p>\n

Howard Nankivell, Anchor\u2019s Sales and Marketing Director, says: \u201cThere are a number of very significant issues facing the retirement sector in the coming decades and we will need new, innovative forms of retirement housing and care services to respond to these trends.<\/p>\n

“Good quality housing, that meets the needs of the end user, has huge potential to help people live happy and healthier lives, delaying the need to move from independent living into residential care.<\/p>\n

“This in turn helps reduce the ever-increasing pressure of our ageing population on the NHS as well as unlocking valuable housing stock at the top end of the market. Innovative and thought-provoking designs, such as these, are just some suggestions of what could and need to become a reality in the future if we are to try and tackle the issues facing older people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wellbeing and exercise were key factors behind the concept and the house has dedicated areas for a virtual yoga class, alfresco dining as well as a vertical garden enabling plant life to grow all year round. \"Anchor-retirement-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Integrated smart technologies place a particular emphasis on health, wellbeing and connectivity with an ambient monitoring wall detailing the home-owner\u2019s personal health statistics and prompting medication requirements.<\/p>\n

High speed internet, a virtual fridge and FaceTime access are also available at the touch of a button. The humble coffee table now acts as a 3D hologram computer; controlled from the comfort of the sofa it can create an augmented reality within the home regulating lighting, sound and even a virtual pet.<\/p>\n

The two designs form part of a broader report showcasing Anchor\u2019s wider business development strategy and continued investment into the retirement sector.<\/p>\n

This ensures that Anchor,\u00a0which provides a range of services from rented and leasehold retirement properties to residential care homes, specialist dementia care homes and retirement villages to some 40,000 people, continues\u00a0to meet the changing requirements of its current customers and anticipate those of the future.<\/p>\n
