Wintry Shale-Covered Homes

'E20 Private Residence' Has a Consistent Coloring Throughout

— April 14, 2017 — Art & Design
E20 Private Residence is a striking, modern home on the outskirts of the small town of Pliezhausen, about 30 kilometers south of Stuttgart, Germany. Though German, the home has a distinctly Scandinavian appeal to it, with a monolithic, white design that stay consistent throughout every aspect of the interior and exterior.

E20 Private Residence's aesthetic begins with its facade. The home is covered in smooth and subtly blended shale stones that are uniformly greyish white. White indeed characterizes the entirety of the home, albeit in slightly different shades throughout. The exterior might be described as taupe, while the interior is a pure, bright white, with exposed grey concrete accents in places where the foundation of the structure tastefully shows through.

The clients who requested the home seem to have a thing for off-white shades, as their car is even a beige hue.
Trend Themes
1. Monolithic Design - The trend towards monolithic building designs that create a consistent look throughout the interior and exterior of a structure presents disruptive innovation opportunities for builders and architects seeking to create visually striking homes and buildings.
2. Scandinavian Aesthetic - There is a growing trend towards the clean, modern lines and monochromatic color schemes of Scandinavian design, which represents a disruptive innovation opportunity for furniture designers and home decor companies.
3. Shale Coverings - Innovative home builders and designers may start exploring the use of shale stones for covering the exterior of homes as a trendy and visually intriguing alternative to more traditional materials like brick and wood.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects and builders can explore new possibilities for monochromatic building design and innovative materials like shale for covering exteriors.
2. Interior Design - The trend towards Scandinavian aesthetics presents innovative opportunities for furniture designers and home decor companies to create simple, elegant and clean designs that blend well with this design ethos.
3. Real Estate Development - The growing trend towards Scandinavian aesthetics and monolithic design could open up new opportunities for real estate development by creating strong and consistent visual identities for homes and neighborhoods.
