The people over at Aamer went all the way with this house. The Merlimau house is located in Singapore and it is probably one of the most beautiful homes I've seen to date. Aamer Architects' 'The Merlimau House' has one key feature and that is its [slanted roof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaazh-house). The house is also considered to be an [eco-friendly house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ocean-eye) due to its open window concept. **Implications** - The remarkably striking front roof of the house makes it stand out above most standard architecture as it slants from the attic to the car porch and gives the house its distinctive look. The [narrow entrance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acute-house) is another prominent feature which accents this beautiful home that is truly an astounding architectural masterpiece. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Triangular Architecture:** Exploring unconventional roof designs and unique architectural structures for residential buildings. - **Eco-friendly Housing:** Adopting open window concepts and sustainable materials to create environmentally conscious homes. - **Distinctive Entrances:** Creating narrow entrances as a design feature to enhance the overall aesthetic of residential buildings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** The architectural industry can explore new design possibilities by incorporating slanted roofs and unconventional entrance designs. - **Construction:** The construction industry can focus on using sustainable materials and eco-friendly building practices to meet the demand for environmentally conscious housing. - **Home Design:** Home design professionals can draw inspiration from the Merlimau House and create unique and striking residences with distinctive features. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Curvaceous Brick Forest Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asmalay.md) - [Pyramidal Roof Steel-Framed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saltmarsh-house.md) - [Modern Sculptural Garden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/priyam-home.md) - [Open-Air Perforated Concrete Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anchor-house.md) - [Charming Angular Contemporary Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trapezium-house.md) - [Sustainable Dynamic Hilltop Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ro54.md) - [Chic Curved Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curved-house1.md) - [Compact Calming Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-sheltered-space.md) - [Upward-Pitched Roof Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneill-mcvoy-architects.md)
