# Crisp White Mansions The ‘Cleft House’ by Culver Architects is a Gorgeous Living Space By Jennifer Gosnell | Published 2012-08-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleft-house-by-culver-architects References: [architizer](http://www.architizer.com/en_us/projects/view/cleft-house/40909/) & [carcinc](http://www.carcinc.com/C_ARC/C_ARC_Intro_Page.html) The ‘Cleft House’ by Culver Architects is a beautifully muted, [almost entirely white mansion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vaulted-monochrome-haus). The luxurious home features an up-to-date kitchen, simple interior and an overall elegant structure. With two huge center islands in the kitchen, the stainless steel-applied kitchen looks to be professional chef-ready. The [open layout and architecturally beautiful space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-minimale) is get-together perfect, giving everyone enough room to mingle and move from room to room with ease. The [simple, yet elegant design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edge-of-calm) of the structure is ideal for minimalists—people who intend to keep their design to a minimum for a clean look. This design is gorgeously chic and offers the comfort of a home and the ideal pad for hosting dinners, parties or any kind of get together that might suit the occasion. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxurious White Homes:** The rise of beautifully muted, almost entirely white mansions presents an opportunity for interior designers and architects to create luxurious and elegant living spaces. - **Professional-grade Kitchens:** The inclusion of large center islands and stainless steel appliances in high-end kitchens opens up opportunities for manufacturers and designers to innovate and cater to the needs of aspiring home chefs. - **Minimalist Design:** The increasing popularity of simple and clean designs presents an opportunity for furniture and decor companies to provide minimalist options that cater to the needs of those seeking a clutter-free and sophisticated aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** The trend of luxurious white homes creates an opportunity for interior designers to showcase their talent and offer design solutions for homeowners looking for an elegant and stylish living space. - **Appliance Manufacturing:** The demand for professional-grade kitchens in high-end homes presents an opportunity for appliance manufacturers to develop innovative and high-performance kitchen appliances. - **Furniture and Decor:** The growing interest in minimalist design opens up opportunities for furniture and decor companies to create stylish and functional products that cater to the needs of minimalistic homeowners. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Mountainous Luxury Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robert-chisholm-architects.md) - [Compact White-Painted Modern Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whitepainted-modern-home.md) - [Hilltop Modern Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cloud-house.md) - [Refined Modern Dwellings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silver-house.md) - [Serene Heartwarming Villa Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-minimale.md) - [Sculptural LA Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cm-g1.md) - [Monolithic Sleek Summer Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollerup-atrium.md) - [Minimal Mountain Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caju-house.md) - [Tranquil Riverside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chalk-river-house.md)
