What is the Open-Air Design trend?
Open-Air Design: As contemporary design turns to more open and exposed structural layouts, maintaining privacy and personal space can be challenge. Looking to enjoy the benefits of open-air living without the inconvenience of being in a public space, consumers are turning to private rooftop architecture to satiate their desire for personal freedom. Expansive rooftop homes reflect a shift in what it means to relax, as consumers seek out less crowded, more naturally harmonious escapes.
