# Sloped Conservation Homes The Cinco Casas Houses Limit Disruption To The Natural Landscape By M | Published 2016-08-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conservation-home References: [uncrate](http://uncrate.com/stuff/cinco-casas/) & [weberarquitectos](http://weberarquitectos.com/eng/p_res_cincocasas.html) The [Cinco Casas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-aire) is a collection of conservation homes spread out on a two acre property that are specially designed in conjunction with the natural landscape and forest surrounding the area. The ecological building makes use of the [sloped terrain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oeiras-house) as part of the structure, rather than working around it and levelling the ground. The homes are all built on a one-level design using natural materials such as wood, glass and concrete. The abodes are modern with large bedrooms, a kitchen and terrace space while utilizing the [natural forests to create seclusion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-house-1) between the nearby properties. The practice of building in relation to the environment rather than transforming it to suit the architecture is a way consumers can be more eco-conscious in the design of structures. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South 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's Driving This Trend - **Eco-conscious Architecture:** Opportunity to design structures that are in harmony with the environment rather than transforming it. - **Sustainable Housing:** Opportunity to create homes using natural materials and taking advantage of the surrounding landscape. - **Secluded Living Spaces:** Opportunity to utilize natural forests to create privacy and seclusion between neighboring properties. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture:** Opportunity for architects to incorporate eco-conscious design principles into their projects. - **Construction:** Opportunity for construction companies to specialize in sustainable housing construction. - **Real Estate:** Opportunity for real estate developers to market secluded living spaces that offer privacy and connection to nature. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Resilient Hilltop Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capuchinas-house.md) - [Landscape-Integrated Hill Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-av.md) - [Nature-Leveraging Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-caoba.md) - [Hillside Embedded Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-the-slope.md) - [Chilean Hillside Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-three-heights.md) - [Nature-Preserving Mexican Lake Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-santa-maria-del-oro.md) - [Forested Hillside Family Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-ventura.md) - [Landscape-Blending Concrete Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/el-pastizal.md) - [Stepped Hillside Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b2a-architects.md)
