The seamless transition between both old and new design offers a new perspective on using past architectural creations in a fresh way. The project, entitled Brick Addition, focuses on the reusing of antiquated bricks into a newly designed home in Dublin. The house features a rebuilding of a previous design that incorporates adding a [new extension to the premises](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hops-house) to make the space more functional. To bridge the two spaces together, the firm used [heritage bricks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mygunyah-by-the-circus) to join the two spaces seamlessly together as well as the original concrete into the newly designed large windows. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Reclaimed Materials:** Opportunity to incorporate reclaimed materials in architectural design to create a seamless blend of old and new. - **Heritage Preservation:** Potential for utilizing historical architectural elements to preserve heritage while incorporating contemporary design. - **Sustainable Construction:** Innovation in sustainable construction by repurposing materials and reducing waste through the use of reclaimed bricks. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for architects to reimagine design concepts by integrating reclaimed materials into their projects. - **Construction:** Opportunity for the construction industry to embrace sustainable practices by incorporating reclaimed materials in building projects. - **Historical Preservation:** Innovative approaches in historical preservation by incorporating historical architectural elements into modern structures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Timber-Cladded Brick Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vavasour-house.md) - [Stock Brick Arched Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-from-a-stone.md) - [Red-Brick Raised Timber Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-on-a-brick-base.md) - [Reclaimed Stone Modern Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbor-house.md) - [Historic Roof Conversions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-to-light.md) - [Textured Brick London Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nw10.md) - [Compact Calming Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-sheltered-space.md) - [Sandstone Brick Home Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-and-steel-house.md) - [Handcrafted Red-Concrete Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cast-corbel-house.md)
