# Shrub-Focused Abodes The DM House Uses a Lot of Greenery Motifs By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-05-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dm-house References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2014/05/11/dm-house-by-studio-guilherme-torres/) & [guilhermetorres](http://www.guilhermetorres.com/) Integrating [greenery into a space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardeners-house-1) can be a tricky endeavor, especially if there is not much room to do so. Studio Guilherme Torres, however, managed to find a way to make this work with the [DM House in Brazil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jf-residence). The back section of the house features a plentiful amount of greenery, which can be seen from the inside through [large glass windows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verdant-house), which let in plenty of natural light. This shrubbery is continued in a sense on the inside, with certain objects in the house representing certain pieces of greenery. For example, above the dining room table Studio Guilherme Torres has placed a lamp. When looking straight at it from an angle with the windows in the background, it's easy to see the resemblance with the outside greenery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 - **Integrating Greenery:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop technologies and design techniques to seamlessly integrate greenery into interior spaces. - **Indoor/outdoor Connection:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create new architectural designs that blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces through the use of large glass windows and open concepts. - **Symbolic Representation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore innovative ways to incorporate symbolic representations of nature, such as using objects that resemble greenery, in interior design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revolutionize the field of interior design by embracing nature-inspired concepts and incorporating greenery into living spaces. - **Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Rethink architectural concepts to create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, blurring the boundaries between the two. - **Urban Planning:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate more green spaces and indoor-outdoor connections in urban planning and development projects to improve well-being and environmental sustainability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Living Landscape Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hedge-and-arbour-house.md) - [Landscape-Integrated Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-by-the-grove.md) - [Planted Balcony Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-greens.md) - [Plant-Covered Concrete Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-kd45.md) - [Plant-Filled Latticed Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touching-eden-house.md) - [Climbing Plant-Wrapped Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nevogilde.md) - [Curved Garden-Surrounding Linear Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-dos-terraos-circulares.md) - [Wooden Screen Stacked Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-vjc-iporanga.md) - [Garden-Connected Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-waverley-house.md)
