# Tile Power Plants The Hugo Kaagman ‘Stadshaard' Plant Stands Out from the Crowd By Tiana Reid | Published 2010-07-08 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hugo-kaagman-stadshaard References: [archdaily](http://www.archdaily.com/67515/artistic-amenity-stadshaard-cie/) Although most power plants tend to either blend into the city landscape, or are situated in a location far off from the hustle and bustle of urban life, the Hugo Kaagman 'Stadshaard' design embraces its essence. Located in downtown Roombeek, the Hugo Kaagman 'Stadshaard' is a Combined Cycle Energy (CHP) plant that is tiled in beautiful blue and white glazed delftware tiling. This power plant uses two gas turbans that generate electricity and heating, which makes it twice as efficient as plants that simply generate energy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Beautiful Power Plants:** Designing power plants with aesthetically pleasing features and elements, such as tiled exteriors, to blend into the city landscape. - **Combined Cycle Energy (CHP):** Utilizing two gas turbines to generate both electricity and heating, resulting in higher efficiency and energy output. - **Energy-efficient Buildings:** Developing buildings and structures that generate their own energy through combined cycle energy techniques, reducing reliance on traditional power plants. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Design:** Opportunity to collaborate with power plant designers to create visually appealing and innovative power plants that enhance urban aesthetics. - **Energy and Utilities:** Potential to invest in combined cycle energy technology and infrastructure to increase energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact. - **Construction and Engineering:** Opportunity to implement combined cycle energy systems in the construction of new buildings and structures, creating eco-friendly and self-sufficient spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rooftop Walkway-Topped Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shenzhen-energy-ring.md) - [3D-Printed Ceramic Home Facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-house.md) - [Low-Carbon Biomimetic Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonkin-liu.md) - [Industrial Landmark Stadiums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerhouse.md) - [Energy-Generating Park Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energy-park.md) - [Tile-Clad Colorful Blocky Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reglow.md) - [3D-Printed Ceramic Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terramound.md) - [Stylish Sustainable Heat Pumps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-air-and-blond.md) - [Slopped-Base Green Tiled Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bak-gordon-arquitectos.md)
