# Intricate Reflective Structures 'House of Mirrors' by NEON Sits on the Shore of Bondi Beach By Leslie Chen | Published 2014-11-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-mirrors References: [seeneon](http://www.seeneon.com/projects/house-mirrors/) & [seeneon](http://www.seeneon.com/aboutneon/) Sitting on the shore of Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, [House of Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-lightness) may at first seem completely out of place, but a closer look at its design will reveal a piece of experimental architecture that fully embraces nature. Intricately industrial yet forming a connection with its surroundings, House of Mirrors was designed by [NEON](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-pavilions), a practice based in London and Melbourne that strives to create "places, spaces and objects that enliven every day experiences," according to their website. The structure acts as a source for many things: a place to rest, a place to sit and stare at the ocean or a place to hide away from the world for a bit while watching the beauty of the water reflected within the many mirrors inside. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Experimental Architecture:** Design innovations that completely embrace the natural surroundings. - **Reflection Technology:** Intricate designs that utilize reflective surfaces to create novel visual experiences. - **Interactive Structures:** Architectural designs that allow for user interaction and different experiences based on input or movement. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** Opportunities for architects to innovate with new materials and structures that blend with surrounding environments. - **Tourism:** New opportunities for interactive and visually stimulating attractions that utilize reflection technology to create different experiences for visitors. - **Art and Design:** Opportunities for artists and designers to create novel experiences using reflection technology and interactive structures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reflective Minimal Glamping Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alphaline.md) - [Stone-Finished Coastal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matopos.md) - [Rectangular Golden Shimmering Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golde-house.md) - [Reflective Material Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue.md) - [Children-Collaborative Design Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflect-pavilion.md) - [Glass-Reflective Illuminated Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-house.md) - [Precisely Designed Toronto Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-point.md) - [Lush Surroundings Glass Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-house-1.md) - [Modern Architectural Seaside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strandhouse.md)
