# Basement Ocean Escapes The Hat Island Residence is a Retreat I Would Like By Robyn Currie | Published 2010-03-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hat-island-residence References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2010/03/11/hat-island-residence-by-bjarko-serra-architects/) & [bjarkoserra](http://www.bjarkoserra.com/) I am not big on spending [days at the beach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kailua-residence), I don’t really care for the sun all that much (actually, I don’t really like that much of anything). Anyway, the Hat Island residence would change all that for me. With its [two separate buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stealth-1), one for eating and and living, the other for sleeping, I would happily spend my days ignoring everyone. Plus, this beautifully designed Hat Island residence near Washington’s San Juan Islands was designed by the Bjarko-Serra Architects firm, so you know it will be good. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 24% | 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) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Retreats:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing innovative and unique architectural spaces for luxury retreats. - **Secluded Living:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing secluded living spaces that provide privacy and tranquility for individuals. - **Architectural Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating cutting-edge architectural designs that prioritize functionality and aesthetic appeal. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating innovative architectural designs into luxury resorts and hotels to enhance the guest experience. - **Real Estate:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Building exclusive properties with unique architectural concepts to attract high-end buyers. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with architects to create interior spaces that complement and enhance the overall design of a building. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Book-Inspired Timber-Lined Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hat-house.md) - [Off-Grid Self-Sufficient Island Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earth-house.md) - [Blackened Timber Tranquil Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hideaway-house.md) - [Coastal Island Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasparakisfriel.md) - [Water-Surrounded Summer Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whistling-wind-island.md) - [Off-Grid Oceanside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campos-studio.md) - [Nature-Immersed Creative Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/french-creek-workhops-house.md) - [Angular Getaway Cabin Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halfmoon-bay.md) - [Sustainable Off-Grid Remote Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daria-sheina.md)
