What does your daydream of the future look like? Robot butlers? Flying cars? Perhaps a bath in your living room?
Hang on...what? Well, it might not be a staple of sci-fi movies, but the Hoesch Water Lounge is one of the visions of the future currently on show at the Grand Designs Live event in London.
It's part of The Automated Home, an exhibition of cutting-edge tech and devices that can save you time around the house. The Water Lounge ticks the latter box, we would guess, since it enables you to take a soak while watching Britain's Got Talent on the telly.
Click through for more on the Water Lounge and the other technology on show in The Automated Home at Grand Designs Live.

Robot butlers... Yes.... Flying cars.. Yes.... Bath in my living room,.. No..
If anything, install a toilet and a kitchen in the Lounge so you can watch tv while making dinner and having a sh*t!!!

Really looking forward to a future where HD technology works on livestreaming of sport via internet. Then, once again top flight football with decent picture quality will be free for EVERYONE to watch and enjoy just like before those sky Leeches ruined everything.

Have to admit....Am loving the horizontal shower!!

WOW I'm loving the future and what they are designing, how much would it cost to be put in acryo chamber for the next couple of hundred years and wake up and see how much the world has changed that would be soooooo cool. I want a tv or computer where you pull images out of the screen and move them about like Iron man had in he's house.

Not very long ago, many people had their bath in front of the fire whilst watching the television so the concept is not new, merely updated!
