Although the WoodBlock House was designed for Woods' family of four, many of the design details that went into the house specifically revolve around Woods' career as an artist. For example, it was important for the house to have a studio and an in-house printing workshop, in addition to an [open yard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-house-1) to ensure ventilation. The use of the [colorful wood blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roggbif) is also carried through to the outside of the WoodBlock House, making it unmistakable as an [artist's residence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galeria-house) that's full of good design and character, even from the street. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Colorful Interiors:** Creating homes with vibrant, bright interior colors that showcase the resident's personality. - **Personalized Design:** Tailoring home design to suit the specific needs and passions of the resident, such as including in-house workshops and studios. - **Artistic Residences:** Designing homes that double as a showcase for the resident's artistic talent and creative identity. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture & Interior Design:** Opportunities to create custom-designed homes that go beyond traditional design to include personalized touches and artistic elements. - **Real Estate:** Marketing homes with unique and bold designs that will appeal to buyers seeking personalized and creative spaces. - **Art & Design:** Creating a new market for artists to showcase their work through residential architecture and interior design, blurring the lines between art and functional living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Colorful Residential Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphic-house.md) - [90s-Inspired Vibrant Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holboro-house.md) - [Colorfully Transformed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slatuinenweg.md) - [Lively Transformed Vibrant Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-buondelmonti.md) - [Vibrantly Colored Retro Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-house.md) - [Playful-Focused Polish Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/znamy-si.md) - [Afromosia Wood-Defined Dutch Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dab-studio.md) - [Whimsical Family Home Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2lg-studio.md) - [Ultra-Playful Studio Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-workspace.md)
