There are many ways to design and produce a creative facade — using iridescent tiles, experimental materials, [sculptural influences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fractal-facade-house) are a few examples that come to mind. Local architecture firm Anonym, however, does not only think but completely steps out of the box with its work on the [Flower Cage House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cj-hendrys-flower-market) in Bangkok.

Anonym was commissioned to complete an extension. The creative facade features a "robust but visually lightweight" grid. The architectural firm takes advantage of this and infuses the dwelling with a potent natural emphasis. In each of the [steel boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bomun-house), Anonym places an olive tree. A total of 102, the vegetation presents a nature-infused component and a visually unified composition.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Nature-infused Facades:** Architects can incorporate nature in building facades to create visually striking and sustainable design solutions.
- **Steel Grid Systems:** Building with a steel grid system can provide a sturdy framework that allows for creative and unique facade designs.
- **Quirky Design Elements:** Incorporating unexpected design elements, like olive trees in building facades, can create a statement-making, memorable architectural design.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Architecture:** Architecture firms can explore new design frontiers by experimenting with unique facade designs and incorporating nature into building exteriors.
- **Construction:** Construction companies can expand their offerings by specializing in the installation of innovative and sustainable building facades.
- **Landscaping and Horticulture:** Landscaping and horticulture companies can partner with architects and construction firms to incorporate greenery into building facades and urban landscapes.
