The [wooden home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbour-house) is kinked to [wrap around the garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-o) it shares with the existing 100-year-old property. The design gives the homeowners privacy from the busy road and railway on one side but maintains a relationship with its neighbor and the beautiful garden. Siitonen designed the building with [two separate apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/n7-bretscha-house): one for the clients and their children, the other for the children's great-grandmother. The larger apartment that the clients and their children inhabit uses the two upper storeys of the house. The smaller apartment for the great-grandmother is accessible from the ground floor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Garden-integrated Architecture:** Opportunity for architects and builders to incorporate natural landscapes into functional living spaces. - **Multigenerational Living:** Opportunity for housing developers to provide homes that cater to multigenerational families and create unique, customizable living experiences. - **Flexible Living Spaces:** Opportunity for architects and designers to create homes that can adapt to different family sizes and lifestyles, maximizing space and functionality. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Opportunity for architects to create innovative homes that are functional, sustainable, and flexible. - **Real Estate:** Opportunity for real estate developers and agents to market multigenerational living spaces that cater to different family dynamics. - **Construction:** Opportunity for builders and construction companies to experiment with materials and techniques to create unique, sustainable homes that can integrate with natural surroundings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Garden-Connected Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-waverley-house.md) - [Window-Accented Garden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verdant-house.md) - [Living Landscape Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hedge-and-arbour-house.md) - [Curved Garden-Surrounding Linear Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-dos-terraos-circulares.md) - [Lush Garden-Focused Melbourne Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardeners-house-1.md) - [Skylit Belgian Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/he-winter-garden.md) - [Dedicated-Space Holiday Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-sisters.md) - [Garden-Connecting Melbourne Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splinter-society.md) - [Circular Garden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-o.md)
