# Continuos Ribbon Abodes Evolution Design Uses a Piece of Fabric for the Inspiration of this Home By M | Published 2016-05-31 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolution-design References: [porist](http://porist.com/2016/05/30/a-white-ribbon-winds-its-way-through-this-house-in-switzerland/) & [wuermlifotograf.ch](http://www.wuermlifotograf.ch/) Evolution Design is the architectural firm behind this futuristic home located in Switzerland that draws upon a piece of fabric as the source of inspiration behind the [segmented floor levels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-three-heights). The abode features three different stores that are joined together by a piece of concrete ribbon that wraps between each layer and the base of the house. The unconventional styling adds an element of artistry to home's facade while using design to segment the different layers. The house is comprised mostly of glass with [floor-to-ceiling windows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neville-park-residence) that allow a large amount of natural light to flood the space. To provide separation to the space, a [massive slab of continuos concrete](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concrete-house-1) is arranged like the folds in a piece of ribbon between each storey. The white concrete adds a contrast to the glass and wooden frame. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Segmented Architecture:** The use of segmented floor levels inspired by fabric opens up opportunities for innovative and visually striking architectural designs. - **Integration of Concrete and Glass:** The combination of concrete ribbon and glass construction offers a unique and modern aesthetic in architectural design. - **Artistic Facades:** Incorporating unconventional styling elements, such as concrete ribbons, adds an artistic touch to the exterior appearance of buildings. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** Architectural firms can explore new designs and construction techniques inspired by fabric and unconventional stylin. - **Construction:** The use of continuous concrete ribbons can create visually stunning and structurally sound buildings. - **Glass Manufacturing:** The demand for large, floor-to-ceiling windows and glass panels in modern architecture opens up opportunities for innovation in glass manufacturing techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reinforced Concrete Housing Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/residenza-carsg.md) - [Residential Mountain Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avber-house.md) - [Staggered Floor Modern Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-seven-floors.md) - [Trapezoidal Concrete Forest Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksa-studen.md) - [City-Framing Concrete Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khome.md) - [Figure 8-Structured House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-loop-house.md) - [Curved Translucent Experimental Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptors-apartment.md) - [Cave-Like Folded Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-house.md) - [Urban Layered Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salmon-house.md)
