# Cagey Korean Architecture The Jo Rin Hun House by Iroje Kimhyoman Architects By Jessica Marcel | Published 2010-01-31 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jo-rin-hun References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2010/01/29/jo-rin-hun-by-iroje-khm-architects.php) & [irojekhm](http://www.irojekhm.com/) The Jo Rin Hun house in Korea looks like a giant Fraggle Rock creation. The bars that create the outer frame of the house must certainly be made out edible material. Or not. Anyway, the [Korean architecture firm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-ridge-house) of Iroje Kimhyoman created the Jo Rin Hun house, which is [modern and industrial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khome). The industrial shapes in the Jo Rin Hun house do little to add warmth to the design, but the [interior spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nakano-house) make up for the exterior coldness. Check out the gallery for more of the Jo Rin Hun house. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Industrial Architecture:** The trend of industrial-inspired architecture that balances functionality and aesthetics while incorporating new materials and techniques to create unique and dynamic structures. - **Edible Architecture:** The trend of experimenting with edible materials in architecture to create sustainable and eco-friendly structures that are also aesthetically pleasing and innovative. - **Interior Design:** The trend of using interior design elements to create warmth and balance in modern, industrial-inspired architecture to improve livability and usability for inhabitants. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** The architecture industry has an opportunity to innovate by incorporating sustainable and eco-friendly materials into their designs, experimenting with new building techniques, and creating unique, functional structures. - **Construction:** The construction industry can benefit by collaborating with architects who are experimenting with new building materials and designs that require specialized skills and techniques to implement. - **Interior Design:** The interior design industry has an opportunity to collaborate with architects and construction teams to create living spaces that balance the functionality of modern, industrial-inspired architecture with the warmth and livability of traditional interior design elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Verdant Pavilion Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pojeon-house.md) - [Tranquil Facade Housing Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raw-house.md) - [Steel Facade-Wrapped Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bomun-house.md) - [Geometric Cave-Like Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cavelike-homes.md) - [Minimal Japanese Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-kyobate.md) - [Pyramidal Concrete Japanese Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pyramid-hut.md) - [Contemporary Weatherized Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acute-house.md) - [Geometric Red-Brick Suburban Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ofis-arhitekti.md) - [Ever-Changing Japanese Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kumagaya-house.md)
