Z Labs is a Korean architectural firm that has put together a modern abode located on the Jeju island that differs from most holiday homes in that the exterior is constructed using volcanic rock. The use of a resource that is abundant to the island allows the holiday home to be that much more ecological.
The home has a minimalistic design that focuses primarily on offering guests a panoramic view of the setting with a modern L-shaped structure. The home is comprised of an antiquated brick exterior with the stones collected from the volcanic rock in Pyeongdae. The grey and black brick lends the exterior to be monochromatic and constructed using natural materials sourced from the landscape.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Sustainable Architecture
- Architectural firms will increasingly focus on using sustainable resources and materials to construct modern architecture.
- Minimalistic Design
- Designers will focus on minimalism to create a sense of tranquility and provide access to natural surroundings.
- Geo-tourism
- Travel and tourism companies will increasingly focus on providing access to nature and unique geological sites as a new form of experiential travel.
Sectors Adopting This
- Construction Industry
- Construction companies will need to identify and access sustainable resources and materials to build modern homes and structures.
- Design Industry
- Designers will need to learn new techniques to create minimalistic designs that complement the use of sustainable resources and offer guests access to natural surroundings.
- Hospitality Industry
- Hotels and resorts will need to offer unique experiences that provide guests with access to natural surroundings and geological sites.
