I've seen the future and it's expensive. Not to mention cold, sterile and utterly charmless.
I look forward to seeing more of this development when it appears on the next series of
Lost as the home of the as yet undiscovered and even more sinister community: The Other Others.
Speaking about the project, Richard Rogers said: ‘Our partnership with George Wimpey has given us an opportunity to take a fresh look at housing design.
‘By working closely together, we have been able to develop an approach which links construction closely to design, giving real value to the homeowner.
‘The scheme at Oxley Woods is highly flexible and sustainable and will, we hope, provide homes for a diverse community for many generations to come.’
Early guides put the market value of the houses at £199,995 for a two-bedroom property and £249,995 for a three-bedroom home.

*Update*:
As usual, input from older, wiser colleagues at the office this morning forces us to ask the question: Has housing progressed in almost a century?
