Children are being recruited to design the homes of the future.
Redrow North West is looking for young people from across Cheshire to design a house fit for 2074.
It comes as the homebuilder celebrates its 50th birthday.
Anna Evans-Kerr, sales director at Redrow NW, said: “As we mark our 50th anniversary in housebuilding, we’re looking to the future and calling on the most creative young minds to imagine what homes will look like in 2074.
“From convertible tops on hot summer nights, to self-tinting windows and robot gardeners mowing lawns, we’re looking for the most adventurous and ambitious designs.”
She added: “At Redrow NW we are committed to bringing young people into the construction industry and are recognized by the industry for the excellence of our training and apprenticeship programmes.
“What better way to celebrate the creativity of local young people and showcase the wonderful imagination and creativity of the next generation?
“Who knows, we might even put in a good word for the winner and have them become one of our new apprentices, who might find themselves building their own designs for years to come!”
The competition is open to children aged 4 to 16 years old (Image source: Redrow)
Children aged 4 to 16 across the county can apply for the role of ‘Archi-tot’ by emailing their ‘future home’ designs to communications@redrow.co.uk.
As well as a £150 prize, the winning Archi-tot school or college will receive a £300 art voucher.
The winners will also see their designs planted in a time capsule beneath the nearby Redrow development, ready to be unearthed in 50 years’ time.
Imaginative young people have until midnight on Friday (May 17) to submit their entries.
The winner will join other successful Archi-tots selected from other Redrow areas across the UK, with an overall winner to be announced later this year.
