The clients were a young couple who wanted their place of residence to reflect their easygoing, outdoorsy lifestyle. Responding to their needs, the Seoul-based studio outfitted the home with a [meditation garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zen-house-1), home cinema and a kitchen that offers gorgeous views of the [surrounding mountains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ski-house). The house is arranged to feel almost like a campground, in which the occupants are free to ride their bikes or take a nap in a hammock, but are also equally as able to pop into the kitchen for a bite to eat, or meander into the lounge-turned-cinema to enjoy a film. Overall, the house is optimized to ensure the "pleasure or delight" of anyone living in it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 45% | 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 - **Campground-inspired Residences:** Opportunity for architects and designers to explore creating living spaces that combine indoor and outdoor features to meet the needs of a young, active demographic - **Outdoor-centric Living:** Opportunity for developers to create urban environments that offer a lifestyle that is heavily focused on outdoor spaces and activities - **Eco-friendly Homes:** Opportunity for architects and builders to design and construct sustainable, energy-efficient homes that are in harmony with their natural surroundings ### Where This Applies - **Real Estate:** Opportunity for real estate developers and agents to identify, market and sell this type of outdoor-focused living to an audience of young, active home buyers - **Home Improvement:** Opportunity for manufacturers and retailers to produce and sell outdoor furniture, lighting and decor that blends with the natural environment and enhances the outdoor living experience - **Architecture and Design:** Opportunity for architects and designers to create environmentally friendly and sustainable camp-inspired residences that reflect the needs and lifestyles of young, urban clientele ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Landscape-Integrated Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-by-the-grove.md) - [Modern Concrete Community Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoji-gangneung.md) - [Temple-Inspired Idyllic Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/k-residence-1.md) - [Geometric Cave-Like Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cavelike-homes.md) - [Gabled Forest-Side Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frame-house-1.md) - [Engineered Wood Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sangja.md) - [Off-Grid Oceanside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campos-studio.md) - [Nature-Rooted Family Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haus-am-lagnesberg.md) - [Tranquil Nature-Centric Cabin Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nortehaus.md)
