Doily Architecture

'Out of the Box' Cadence Residence Adds Elegance to Concrete Box Building

— July 20, 2009 — Art & Design
This Cadence Indian Architecture residence is located in Bangalore, India and features cast concrete external walls augmented with perforations.

Known as 'Out of the Box,' this building was designed to block views of neighboring buildings from the inside.

Along with residences, 'Outside the Box' also features a beautiful courtyard.

Implications - The feminization of architecture is becoming more prevalent in society. While aggressive, geometric architecture still has its place in our urban jungles, softer architectural designs with lighter colorations and dainty details may be on the rise. With this feminine design, building features such as courtyards, gardens and fountains will also become more prevalent. With women breadwinners on the rise, companies should begin to start realigning their focus for specific products to capitalize on this coming shift.
Trend Themes
1. Feminine Architecture - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Companies can create architectural designs with softer and lighter colorations to cater to the rising demand for feminine-inspired buildings.
2. Courtyard Revival - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Industries can focus on creating or renovating buildings with courtyards, gardens, and fountains to meet the increasing preference for these features.
3. The Rise of Women Breadwinners - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Businesses should realign their focus and develop products that cater to the needs and preferences of women who are becoming the primary earners in households.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Architects can explore new design aesthetics by incorporating softer and daintier elements into their architectural projects.
2. Construction - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Construction companies can adapt to the demand for courtyards and gardens by integrating these features into their building designs and offerings.
3. Home Decor - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Home decor industries can create products that complement and enhance the feminine architectural designs, focusing on lighter color palettes and delicate details.
