# Hanging Concrete Homes This Modernist Condo Has a Dynamic Layout and Open Concept By Christopher Magsambol | Published 2015-10-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dynamic-layout References: [archdaily](http://www.archdaily.com/775318/h67-studiopractice) & [studiopractice](http://studiopractice.ca/) This stunning interior from Montreal-based [Studio Practice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-in-the-farm) exemplifies how to utilize a dynamic layout and open-concept designs. From its exterior, the striking structure seems boxy and oddly shaped, yet its architects use this unconventional concept to the homeowner's advantage. The building was constructed through [prefabricated concrete boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-seven-floors), a concept from 1967. The rather old yet innovative design was reintroduced for 2015 and uses modern furnishings to augment its odd shape. Each floor varies in size but architects opted to allow an [open-concept throughout the space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/binocular-house), showcasing the functional and dynamic layout. Concrete ceilings are contrasted with modern hardwood and sleek furnishings. Glass partitions also bring a contemporary element to the space, along with a distinct floating staircase. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Dynamic Layouts:** The use of dynamic layouts in architectural designs can create unique and functional spaces. - **Open-concept Designs:** Open-concept designs can enhance the flow and versatility of interior spaces. - **Prefabricated Concrete Construction:** The reintroduction of prefabricated concrete construction techniques offers increased efficiency and design possibilities. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Architects can explore innovative ways to incorporate dynamic layouts and open-concept designs in their projects. - **Construction:** The use of prefabricated concrete construction methods can revolutionize the efficiency and sustainability of building processes. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can leverage dynamic layouts and open-concept designs to create visually appealing and functional spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hillside Concrete Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concrete-house-1.md) - [Expansive Roofs Concrete Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-in-the-farm.md) - [Graphic-Accented Brutalist Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jean-verville.md) - [Red Concrete-Defined Home Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-delalande-tabourin.md) - [City-Framing Concrete Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khome.md) - [Contemporary Adaptable Concrete House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/binocular-house.md) - [Modern Concrete Hayfield Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/759-house.md) - [Raw Concrete Industrial Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-nishizaki.md) - [Cantilevered Mountain Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutal-honesty.md)
