The Future Gen House is a place where Generation Z (Gen Z) can fully immerse themselves in a hyper-connected experience powered by Samsung Electronics’ SmartThings. SmartThings provides a complete experience connected to devices that fits the user’s own lifestyle. It not only connects Samsung products and services but also other smart devices. Appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and more are all organically connected to create a personalized space and experience according to the user’s requirements. To familiarize and connect Gen Z with SmartThings, Samsung created the Future Gen House. Based on the popular Gen Z trend of home sharing, the Future Gen House is equipped with a range of Samsung products all connected to SmartThings. Inside the Future Gen House, each space is designed and curated around one of five different Gen Z interest categories, including gaming, entertainment, sports and fitness, cooking and design. There are also common areas such as a lounge and a dining room where guests can engage and interact with each other. ▲ Group photos of Future Gen House in Korea and UK Samsung’s Gen Z employees from the Future Generation Lab, Gen Z influencers and college students moved in and lived together in the house for two weeks.
