The most unique attribute of this home is the rooftop with a lap pool that at night lights up in various colors. In the center of the home is a court with a large skylight overtop. The house has four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a car porch, music room, study and garden. The living room has massive bay windows that look out onto the city, and the kitchen has a massive island. The home was built as a family house where kids could grow up, and the grandparents could be with their family and still have their own area. The house has an open-concept, and it is full of modern sophisticated designs with Japanese and European touches. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 28% | 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 - **Open-concept Homes:** Designing homes with an open-concept layout promotes a seamless flow of movement and light, giving homeowners a sense of spaciousness and freedom. - **Multi-generational Living:** Trend towards designing homes that accommodate extended families, which presents opportunities for designing innovative spaces that are adaptable to different living styles and modes. - **Smart Home Living:** Designing homes with futuristic elements that make life more convenient, such as voice-activated assistants and security systems. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Real Estate:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in real estate include designing multi-functional spaces that cater to different demographic groups and lifestyles. - **Architectural Design:** The trend towards open-concept living provides opportunities for architects to create innovative spaces and layouts that promote comfort, functionality, and sustainability. - **Home Decor and Furnishings:** The trend towards futuristic smart homes presents new opportunities in inventing cutting-edge home technologies and interior design elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Skylight-Topped English Pool Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/malvern-pool-house.md) - [Fish Lifestyle-Inspired Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-gills.md) - [Garden-Surrounded Pool House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geometric-pool-house.md) - [Bamboo Luxe Pool Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godai-pavilion.md) - [Japanese Concept-Inspired Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oku-house.md) - [Underwater Pool Window Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hastingssunrise.md) - [Coastal View Island Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cape-drive-residence.md) - [Temple-Inspired Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/j-kidman-architecture.md) - [Design Collection-Honored Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hudson-lhouse.md)
