An uninhabited Futuro House in poor condition deteriorates in the woods of North Carolina.
Futuro Houses were a 1960s architectural fad, prefabricated vacation homes that were appropriate for beaches, mountainsides, and forests. They were the invention of Finnish architect Matti Suuronen, and sold like hotcakes when they debuted in 1968. They represented a leisurely, modern vision of the future.
The trend didn't last though, and today more Futuro Houses lie abandoned than inhabited.
This one in the woods outside Chapel Hill is in very bad shape. The roof caved in and severely rotted decking prevents any real access. But you can still see the strange white bubble shape from Jack Bennet Road and peek your head in through the hatch to imagine the life of Futurians.
