The house in Minamimachi 03 by Suppose Design Office is constructed with an [outer layer of concrete](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nakano-house) that actually acts like a [monolithic fence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stealth-house). Disconnected from the exterior facade, the interior is placed at a slight angle in order to extract natural light from the ceiling. Privacy is a given here; therefore, the 'inner house' possesses [large floor-to-ceiling windows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sanctum-house) and openings. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 33% | 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Split-personality Homes:** Opportunity to create homes with exterior facades that differ drastically from their interior designs. - **Monolithic Fences:** Potential for innovative use of concrete as an exterior material, resembling a continuous barrier. - **Angled Interiors:** Possibility to design interiors at a slight angle to optimize natural light and privacy. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Disruptive innovation potential in designing residential buildings with contrasting exterior and interior arrangements. - **Construction:** Opportunity for new construction techniques that integrate monolithic concrete fences. - **Interior Design:** Innovative approaches for arranging furnishings and optimizing natural light in angled interiors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimal Japanese Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-kyobate.md) - [Angled Concrete Forest Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/block-wall-house.md) - [Privacy Enhanced Minimal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-open-house-1.md) - [Concrete Boxes-Overlapping Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-tsurumiku.md) - [Compact Corner Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modus-architect.md) - [Hidden Resort Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stealth-1.md) - [Curvaceous Privacy Wall Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kwk-promes-open-house.md) - [Intersecting Block-Formed Narrow Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-fujidera.md) - [Concrete Block-Formed Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blockwall-house.md)
