Located on a [limited Chicago lot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curtain-house), this [rectilinear dwelling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neville-park-residence) takes the form of a rhythmic geometrical composition. Designed with an open-concept floor plan, the Bucktown Residence by Miller Hull is awash with a shower of delicate light from expansive windows above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Post Modern Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunities could include incorporating innovative materials and technologies to create new forms and structures within postmodern architecture. - **Open-concept Floor Plans:** Disruptive innovation opportunities could involve developing new ways to maximize space and functionality in open-concept floor plans, such as through modular furniture or smart home technologies. - **Expansive Windows:** Disruptive innovation opportunities could focus on improving energy efficiency and sustainability of expansive windows, such as through the development of new glazing technologies or smart window solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunities within the architecture industry could involve the integration of new materials, sustainable design concepts, and smart technologies. - **Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunities within the furniture industry could involve creating modular furniture solutions that optimize space and functionality in open-concept floor plans. - **Building Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunities within the building materials industry could focus on the development of energy-efficient and sustainable solutions for windows and glazing systems. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Slender Alley Dwelling Revivals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brown-house-1.md) - [Compact Calming Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-sheltered-space.md) - [Precisely Designed Toronto Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-point.md) - [Cantilevered Mountain Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutal-honesty.md) - [Reimagined Postmodern Residence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alder-house.md) - [Nature-Merging Geometric Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neville-park-residence.md) - [Minimal Material Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marcela-cure.md) - [Textured Mid-Century Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highland-park-residence.md) - [Materially Expressive Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alma-switch-house.md)
