# River-Spanning Residences Bridge House by ObjecktCreative Challenges the Convention of a Site By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-12-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridge-house-by-objecktcreative References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/51482/) & [objecktcreative](http://www.objecktcreative.com/) The notion that you need a workable block of land in order to build a home is certainly disproved by the [Bridge House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fw-ji-covered-bridge-on-aqueduct) by ObjecktCreative. What makes this project so remarkable is the way that it hovers over a small Northern Californian stream. A series of three boxes composes the highly modernist dwelling, seemingly inspired by the marvelously minimal residential works of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in the mid-20th century. The floor and roof planes of the structures are emphasized with their fine concrete materiality, leaving the walls completely open to full-length windows. It's wonderful that the owners can now appreciate expansive views of the gorgeous forested site. They sit across a particularly lovely picnic site from their dining room in the Bridge House by ObjecktCreative. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North 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 - **Suspended Residences:** The concept of building homes that hover over natural landscapes presents disruptive innovation opportunities for architects and designers. - **Minimalist Architecture:** The minimalist design approach employed in the Bridge House by ObjecktCreative opens up possibilities for innovative and functional residential structures. - **Seamless Integration:** The seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces through full-length windows in the Bridge House creates opportunities for innovative living spaces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Architects can explore new possibilities in design and construction by incorporating suspended residences and minimalist architectural elements. - **Real Estate:** Real estate developers can tap into the growing demand for unique and innovative homes by offering suspended residences that integrate seamlessly with their natural surroundings. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can create unique living spaces within suspended residences that prioritize the integration of indoor and outdoor environments through the use of full-length windows. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Timber Bridge Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/91-cedar-house.md) - [Footbridge-Inspired Hillside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-sidonius.md) - [Concrete-Supportive Bridged Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stempel-tesar.md) - [Glass Bridge-Connected Small Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pjcarchitecture.md) - [Materially Expressive Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alma-switch-house.md) - [Contemporary Cantilevered Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/westview-residence.md) - [Tranquil River-Overlooking Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/river-bend-residence.md) - [Hillside Embedded Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-the-slope.md) - [Tranquil Riverside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chalk-river-house.md)
