# Impressive Visionary Villas The Belmont Dream Home Takes Architecture to New Heights By Emily Evans | Published 2011-07-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belmont-dream-home References: [letmebeinspired](http://www.letmebeinspired.com/?p=5250) & [zo2.ch](http://www.zo2.ch/) Many families dream of having a custom dream home built from the ground up for them -- like the 'Belmont Dream Home' -- but few are as fortunate as these clients of the zo2 architectural firm. This expansive house is located in Switzerland on a [hillside property](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sky-house-1) with a view of Lake Geneva. The Belmont Dream Home was designed to have eco-conscious features while still upholding a degree of [classic style and contemporary design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hollywood-hills-house-1). Countless balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows, ceilings with sky-scraping heights and a [timber exterior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfect-day-house) round out this architecturally charged abode. **Implications** - Modern consumers posses eco-conscious mentalities and yet they still wish to hold on to some touches of high-living that may not necessarily adhere to whole-hearted environmental beliefs. Companies looking to find a appeal to such consumers need to find a balance between green products and those that still offer style and panache to consumers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Eco-conscious Architecture:** Opportunity for architects and builders to design homes that incorporate eco-friendly features while maintaining a stylish and contemporary aesthetic. - **High-living with Environmental Consciousness:** Brands can cater to consumers who value luxury and style, while also providing eco-friendly products and experiences. - **Balancing Green Products and Style:** Companies can capitalize on the growing demand for environmentally friendly options by offering stylish and fashionable products that also prioritize sustainability. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Architecture firms can seize the opportunity to create innovative designs that merge eco-consciousness and aesthetic appeal. - **Luxury Home Construction:** Builders specializing in high-end homes can differentiate themselves by incorporating eco-friendly elements into their designs. - **Fashion and Lifestyle:** Fashion and lifestyle brands can develop environmentally-friendly products and experiences that appeal to consumers seeking luxury and sustainability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Swiss Chalets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ls-design.md) - [Sustainable Dome Villas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belalu-dome-villa.md) - [Sustainable Dynamic Hilltop Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ro54.md) - [Thoughtful Lakeside Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lakeside-living.md) - [Anticipatory Architectural Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vulcan-house.md) - [Nature-Rooted Family Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haus-am-lagnesberg.md) - [Modern Mountainous Luxury Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robert-chisholm-architects.md) - [Serene Heartwarming Villa Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-minimale.md) - [Organic Coastal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diachok-architects.md)
