These Polish companies have joined forces to design a magnificent home that is entirely eco-friendly. The idea of the home's design is to create a green home with open space to allow the owner to best use the plot of land. To accomplish this the garage will be built underground, and there will be [green roofs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haus-am-lagnesberg) and a garden ramp leading up to the house. The most notable eco-friendly features of the house include "[prefabricated structural SIP panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-pod), LED lighting, a tank for rainwater, drainwater heat recovery system, ventilation system with heat recovery, photovoltaic panels and heat pumps." The exterior of the home is made from a [combination of concrete and timber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-w-1). This environmental friendly home shows an ideal design for a sustainable future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Construction:** Opportunity for construction companies to incorporate sustainable and eco-friendly features into their designs. - **Green Roofs:** Growing trend of incorporating green roofs in building design to provide eco-friendly benefits and promote sustainable living. - **Rainwater Harvesting:** Increasing use of rainwater harvesting systems in residential constructions to conserve water and reduce utility costs. ### Where This Applies - **Construction:** Construction industry can capitalize on green home designs and eco-friendly materials to meet the growing demand for sustainable living. - **Architecture:** Architecture firms can incorporate eco-friendly designs, green roofs and rainwater harvesting systems to meet the demand for sustainable living. - **Renewable Energy:** Renewable energy companies have the opportunity to install photovoltaic panels and heat pumps, and collaborate with construction companies to provide green energy solutions for eco-friendly homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Cubic Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appels-architekten.md) - [Sustainable Country Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/three-oaks-farm.md) - [Solar Powered Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e55000.md) - [Off-Grid Self-Sufficient Island Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earth-house.md) - [Eco-Focused Family Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rewild-homes.md) - [Greenhouse-Topped Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-house-1.md) - [Simple Material Family Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openfield-house.md) - [Dark-Green Minimal Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scalar-architecture.md) - [Sustainable Off-Grid Remote Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daria-sheina.md)
