# Rustic Woodland Churches The Junquillos Chapel is a Picturesque Ecclesiastical Escape By Robyn Currie | Published 2009-10-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/junquillos-chapel References: [likecool](http://likecool.com/Junquillos_Chapel--Building--Home.html) & [whatwedoissecret.org](http://whatwedoissecret.org/madebyblog/2009/10/junquillos-chapel-by-claudio-baladron-diego-grass/#more-5701) It seems as though [church design and architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/st-marys-coptic-church) went downhill there for a bit, you know, after the 19th century. The Junquillos Chapel, located in the [countryside of Southern Chile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-three-heights), is one well-designed church. According to LikeCool.com, “It is a [wooden barn structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-the-forest) over a concrete platform with corrugated metal cladding in the outside and pine boards in the inside.” The Junquillos Chapel will make being faithful to the church that much easier. **Implications** - The modern design of the Junquillos Chapel shows that there is a market for blending contemporary design with traditional elements. Classical structures and designs can be re-branded to appeal to new consumers, without losing past followers or clients. Consumers seek style, comfort and an aesthetically-pleasing design in all facets of their personal lives. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 43% | 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) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Blending Traditional and Contemporary Design:** There is an opportunity to re-brand classical structures and designs to appeal to new consumers by blending traditional and contemporary design. - **Aesthetically-pleasing Design:** There is a growing trend among consumers to seek style and comfort in all facets of their personal lives, creating a market for aesthetically-pleasing design. - **Faith and Design:** There is an intersection between faith and design that presents opportunities to innovate and create new and unique structures. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Architects have the opportunity to blend traditional and contemporary design in their work, creating new structures and re-branding classical structures. - **Religious Institutions:** Religious institutions have the opportunity to update their design and appeal to new followers while still maintaining their traditional elements. - **Home Decor:** There is a growing market for aesthetically-pleasing design in all facets of life, including home decor, presenting opportunities for designers and retailers to cater to this trend. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Beautiful Forest-Enclosed Churches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-church-of-julong.md) - [Modern Tuscan Chapel Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pailunga-tuscan-chapel.md) - [Inverted Boat Chapels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-barca.md) - [Sacred Timber Chapels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-church-tolvkanten.md) - [Reflection-Encouraging Cohesive Churches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hjvangen-church.md) - [Building-Nestled Compact Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chapel-cafe.md) - [Compact Urban Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-chapel.md) - [Oak Wood-Clad Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palo-quemado.md) - [Fluted Concrete-Added Chapels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/st-marys-coptic-church.md)
