Localarchitecture company has completed the Rovereaz house in Switzerland, using a corrugated finish for the surface. Apparently this choice of material was used "in reference to the agricultural past of its surroundings," according to DesignBoom.
The building itself is quite tall and slim, and ventures quite far from traditional designs. The house is actually home to several different units, all of which have a distinct design. One of the best features about living here are the views, as many of the apartments look out onto the alps, as well as a lake at the back part of the building. Another unconventional detail about the structure is the staircase running up the side of the building, and the transparent window that ascends beside the steps to the top.

Trend Themes
1. Corrugated Surface Architecture - The use of corrugated finishes in architectural design offers a disruptive innovation opportunity to create buildings that reflect their surrounding environments.
2. Distinct Design Units - Designing buildings with multiple units, each with a unique design, presents a disruptive innovation opportunity to create diverse living spaces within a single structure.
3. Unconventional Staircase and Window - Incorporating unconventional elements like a staircase running up the side of a building and a transparent window along the steps presents a disruptive innovation opportunity to redefine the concept of vertical circulation in architecture.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - The architectural industry can explore the use of corrugated finishes, innovative unit designs, and unconventional elements to create visually striking and contextually relevant buildings.
2. Interior Design - The interior design industry can leverage distinct design units in buildings to create unique living spaces that cater to different preferences and needs of residents.
3. Construction - The construction industry can embrace the incorporation of unconventional elements like unconventional staircases and transparent windows to introduce new construction techniques and materials that enhance vertical circulation in buildings.
