# Austrian Minimalist Architecture The EMA Haus by Bernardo Bader Looks Like a Modern Farmhouse By Jessica Marcel | Published 2010-03-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ema-haus References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2010/03/24/ema-haus-by-bernardo-bader.php) & [bernardobader](http://www.bernardobader.com/ema_haus.html) The EMA Haus was designed by Austrian designer Bernardo Bader. The home is quite simple in its design; it looks like a [modern farmhouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-w-1). The exterior is covered in a light and [natural wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openfield-house). Windows are sparse, but large. The EMA Haus carries on the European tradition of [smaller living areas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabini-edelweiss). The interior floorspace of the home is only 90 meters square. I don't do conversions, but all you need to understand if you're used to square feet is that the EMA Haus is not big. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Minimalist Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in creating sustainable and efficient minimalist designs for residential and commercial buildings. - **Modern Farmhouse Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities exist in combining traditional farmhouse aesthetics with modern architectural elements to create unique and appealing structures. - **Smaller Living Spaces:** Disruptive innovation opportunities can be explored by developing innovative solutions that maximize functionality and comfort within limited living areas. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation can be found in reimagining architectural concepts and pushing boundaries of design and functionality. - **Construction:** Disruptive innovation opportunities exist in revolutionizing construction techniques and materials to support sustainable and cost-effective building practices. - **Interior Design:** Innovative approaches in interior design can contribute to the efficient and aesthetically pleasing utilization of smaller living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nature-Rooted Family Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haus-am-lagnesberg.md) - [Sleek Modular German Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-anton-ii.md) - [Log Cabin-Inspired Minimal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restua.md) - [Tranquil Elevated Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zen-house.md) - [Nature-Surrounded Miniature Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-mini.md) - [Low-Lying Mid-Century Belgian Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-the-fields.md) - [Serene Timeless Minimal Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-hkarn.md) - [Minimal Japanese Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-kyobate.md) - [Perched Grassy Hillside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meadow-house.md)
