The apartment building features a [facade full of balconies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-river-north) that alternate between angling outward over the road and back inward toward the building, contributing to a [rippling effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taichung-apartment) that's appropriate for the building's surroundings. AVA Building is on Lima's coastline, and its balconies have a tremendous view of the Pacific ocean beyond (as a popular surfing destination, Lima's coastline also offer the view of athletes cruising the waves.) In fact, the top floor of the building has an exposed lounge area with a pool, giving an even more relaxing view while being well suited to the tropical climate. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Alternately Angled Balconies:** Designing buildings with balconies that alternate between angling outward over the road and back inward toward the building can create a ripple effect. - **Coastal Building Design:** Designing buildings in coastal areas with balconies and exposed lounge areas overlooking the ocean can increase the demand for real estate in these areas. - **Luxury Apartments with Relaxation Areas:** Including amenities such as exposed lounge areas with a pool can increase tenant satisfaction and rental rates. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Real Estate:** Real estate developers and architects can incorporate this trend in designing luxury apartment buildings and increase demand for their constructions. - **Hospitality and Tourism:** Hotels and resorts in coastal locations can incorporate this trend in their design to provide a unique experience for their guests. - **Outdoor Furniture:** Manufacturers of outdoor furniture can collaborate with real estate developers to provide a range of furniture that suits the balcony design of these buildings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multifunctional Angled Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertikal-nydalen.md) - [Dynamic Living Towered Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onze22.md) - [Curved Green Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-island.md) - [Bright Balcony-Defined Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nightingale-village.md) - [Dual-Use Retail Residential Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellevue53.md) - [Warped Stacked Residence Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quinta-do-rei.md) - [Captivating Facade Residential Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-river-north.md) - [Mountaintop Cantilevered Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levitae-house.md) - [Triangular Concrete Apartment Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mo288.md)
