Seemingly collaged, the residential units are layered atop and beside one another in addition to being painted a gradient of citrus green hues. Inspired by a 'different way of living', architects from feld72 and AllesWirdGut gained inspiration for the building from a variety of urban typologies. The Herzberg Housing Development features [121 housing units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/54-social-housing). The units range from a [rooftop bachelor apartment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nantou-hybrid-building) with a terrace to a family-sized unit with a large living room that can be transformed into smaller bedrooms. Encouraging different ways of living within one solitary structure, the architects merge small-scale apartments with larger family-targeted residences. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, 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 - **Mixed-use Living:** The fusion of compact apartments and townhomes offers a new model for mixed-use living spaces. - **Layered Architecture:** The collaged design of the residential units opens up opportunities for innovative layered architecture. - **Flexible Living Spaces:** The incorporation of adaptable living areas provides opportunities for flexible and customizable homes. ### Where This Applies - **Real Estate:** Real estate developers can explore the concept of mixed-use living to create innovative residential projects. - **Architecture and Design:** Architects can push the boundaries of traditional design by experimenting with layered architecture. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can explore creative solutions to maximize flexibility and customization in living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Housing Collective Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-comunidad-habitacional.md) - [Golden Age-Honoring Housing Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seestadt-aspern-housing.md) - [Ultra-Colorful High-Density Residential Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdensity-residential-design.md) - [Accordion Facade Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harmonikahusene.md) - [Industrial-Inspired Housing Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/westhof.md) - [Interconnected Brick-Clad Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-chipperfield-architects.md) - [Lush Garden Housing Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volante.md) - [Rural Slope Housing Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rtiboden-housing.md) - [Nature-Rooted Family Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haus-am-lagnesberg.md)
