Marketplace All-in-One · Building Tomorrow: A Special Look at the Future of Housing · 21 Feb 2026 podcast

Coming up, the house of the future is over 100 years old.

That's next on Building Tomorrow from Marketplace and This Old House Radio Hour.

Welcome back to Building Tomorrow, a special look at the future of housing from Marketplace and This Old House Radio Hour.

I'm Jen Largess with David Brancaccio.

We're back in Altadena, California, where Marketplace host David Brancaccio's home used to be.

So we've been talking about how homes get built and what they're built with, new materials, new processes, new ways to make houses stronger, faster, more resilient.

But there's really one part of the equation we haven't touched on, which is how people actually want to live.

So when you imagine your next house, what do you really hope for?

Gosh, and that question of how you want to live, that really isn't unique to you.

Yeah, I think the idea of a single purpose house is really starting to break down, actually.

This isn't just a housing shift.

And that question really sits underneath everything else that we've talked about today.

So next we'll look at how these new ways of living are reshaping design and energy use in community.

In one place that shift is showing up is energy.

How much homes use, how directly they're tied to it.

And for some homeowners, that's really changing how they think about the house itself.

Anything you're putting in the walls, you do it upfront.

So for example, I put a air distribution system into the walls, but didn't install AC at the time.

We have a house built for these future energy systems.

We can start all the way up here.
