# Inverted Home Pairs Endorfine Office's Home Design is Flipped for Two Different Volumes By Joey Haar | Published 2018-01-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endorfine-office References: [archdaily](https://www.archdaily.com/887398/3x3-family-houses-endorfine-office) Endorfine Office, a Slovakian architecture studio, designed 3x3 Family Houses with an interesting quirk. The residence, which is on a single property, consists of [two housing units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-face-house) that are virtually identical in terms of form. However, those buildings look entirely different from one another, because their layout is flipped: both have a series of connected cubes, but one stands vertically while the other lies horizontally. The shape of the homes features three cubes which are offset from one another. For the [bungalow unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twisted-house1), this provides a variable space that's more interesting to move through than with a standard rectangular form. For the [three-storey unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kumagaya), this shape leaves space for a balcony to extend from the third floor, using the roof of the second floor as a built-in support. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Inverted Home Design:** Creating visually and functionally unique homes by flipping traditional layouts. - **Variable Space Housing:** Designing housing units with an offset cube structure to create unique and dynamic living spaces. - **Built-in Balcony Support:** Using the roof of the second floor to create a balcony extension for three-story housing units. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Real Estate:** Innovative home designs can offer unique selling points in a competitive real estate market. - **Architecture and Design:** Flipping traditional housing layouts can offer new and creative approaches to modern design. - **Construction Materials:** Creating offset cube structures and built-in balcony supports may require new and innovative construction materials and techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Duplex-Appearing Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duplex-house.md) - [Sculptural Inverted Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-with-an-inverted-roof.md) - [Staggered Floor Modern Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-seven-floors.md) - [Inversion Living Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-getaway.md) - [Low‑Density Twin Villas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-villa-bukovac.md) - [Multigenerational Modern Twin-Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-with-one-pillar.md) - [Playful-Focused Polish Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/znamy-si.md) - [Intersecting Block-Formed Narrow Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-fujidera.md) - [Compact Corner Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modus-architect.md)
