# Juxtaposing Texture Architecture The Eagle Bay Residence by Zorzi South and Paul Jones is Elegant By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-05-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eagle-bay-residence References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2014/05/06/eagle-bay-residence-by-paul-jones-and-zorzi-south/) & [zorzisouth.au](http://www.zorzisouth.com.au/) The Eagle Bay Residence has a certain elegance to it that will impress any visitor. Located right by the beach in Australia, the abode comes equipped with all of the luxuries one would want while relaxing on a balcony overlooking the ocean. It even has a cooling room! The interesting feature about this structure is the juxtaposing materials used. Much of the house comes clad in a [timber material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timber-residence), giving the house a cozy and cabin-like feel. However, [touches of concrete](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concrete-house-1) are also placed throughout, contrasting this look with a more industrial-inspired touch. According to The Contemporist, the house was the "winner of the 2014 Master Builders Association South West Home of the Year and six other awards for construction excellence." Just looking at the photos it's no wonder the abode did so well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Texture Architecture:** The juxtaposition of different materials in architecture creates opportunities for innovative and visually striking designs. - **Luxury Beach Homes:** The demand for high-end beachfront residences continues to rise, presenting opportunities for luxury real estate developers. - **Sustainable Design:** The use of timber and concrete in architecture showcases the potential for sustainable and eco-friendly construction practices. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** Architects and designers can explore new ways to incorporate contrasting materials to create unique and visually appealing structures. - **Real Estate:** Luxury real estate developers can capitalize on the demand for beachfront properties with innovative and elegant designs. - **Construction:** The construction industry can adopt sustainable and eco-friendly building practices by incorporating materials like timber and concrete into their projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textural Greek Holiday Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/southwand-house.md) - [Spacially Contrasting Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barwon-heads-house.md) - [Coastal Island Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasparakisfriel.md) - [Juxtaposing South Californian Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emerald-bay.md) - [Meadow-Overlooking Sleek Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studioac-1.md) - [Clay Ridge Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birdwood-house.md) - [Discreet Modern Brazil Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jf-residence.md) - [Stone-Finished Coastal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matopos.md) - [Organic Coastal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diachok-architects.md)
