The client bought the original home for its amazing location next to the center of Worsley in west Manchester. The home is large, but loses space with an inefficient floor plan that literally and figuratively "cuts corners." The architects sought to recover this lost space in order to make the most of the home's expanse. The client wished to have a family home characterized by quality design and flexibility. The architect changed and expanded the home in relation to these wishes, while continuing to consider the context of the site. The finished product is contemporary, [sleek](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waverley-house) and valuable in terms of space -- perfect for a young family. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 11% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Space Optimization:** The redesign of House 1005 highlights the trend of optimizing space in existing homes by recovering lost space and creating efficient floor plans. - **Flexible Living:** The redesigned family home reflects the trend of creating flexible living spaces that can adapt to the changing needs of the residents. - **Contemporary Renovation:** House 1005 exemplifies the trend of modernizing existing residences through sleek and contemporary renovations. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture and Design:** Architects and designers can explore opportunities to apply space optimization strategies in their residential projects. - **Home Improvement:** The trend towards flexible living spaces presents opportunities for home improvement companies to offer products and services that cater to adaptable living arrangements. - **Real Estate:** Real estate developers can explore the potential of contemporary renovations to increase the value and appeal of existing properties. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flexible Family Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-simple-addition.md) - [Compact Corner Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modus-architect.md) - [Compact Residential Additions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/henville-street-house.md) - [Curved Brick Entertaining Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sobremesa-house.md) - [Wellbeing-Harnessing Tranquil Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heath-house.md) - [Refurbished London Victorian Townhomes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/br-house.md) - [Minimalist London Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/158-purley-downs-road.md) - [Compact Madrid Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burr-studio-1.md) - [Sleek Garden-Edge Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waverley-house.md)
