Mixed Architecture

Mixed-style architecture is becoming increasingly common

Trend - More than simply repurposing or revamping old spaces, architects are creating structures that perfectly merge old and new styles that seamlessly coexist with one another, rather than being fully integrated. These structures are able to satisfy a range of architectural preferences while also having the benefit of enhanced multifunctionality.

Insight - When it comes to the home, office environments, and retail, architecture and design are crucial tools in making spaces functional and productive. People tend to enjoy the nostalgia and structural integrity of traditional designs, but recognize that modern design preferences and modern consumer needs require a merging of both worlds in order to be functional today.
Workshop Question - Conceptualize a mixed-style or mixed-use office space for your company.

Trend Themes

  1. Mixed-style Architecture — The merging of old and new styles in architecture creates enhanced multifunctionality.
  2. Secluded Modernization — Technological innovations in home and structure design allow for modernization of remote dwellings.
  3. Mixed-style Working Spaces — The preservation of historic elements in office design creates a harmonious juxtaposition with modern design elements.

Industry Implications

  1. Architecture — There is space for enhanced multifunctionality in architecture.
  2. Home Design — Technological innovations allow for modernization of remote dwellings and homes to essentially bridge the gap between traditional architecture and modern preferences.
  3. Office Design — Preservation of historic office elements reflected in modern design is an excellent opportunity for enhancing workspaces.
