Rubber-Covered Abodes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Just K House Keeps it Simple With its Interior & Exterior

— August 23, 2011 — Art & Design
If the thought of a rubber-covered house doen’t already have your interest piqued, then these images of the Just K House by the architecture firm ‘Architekten Martenson und Nagel Theissen’ is sure to do it. The gray exterior of this stunning abode is a stark contrast to the predominantly timbered interior, providing for a juxtaposition that is eye-catching and interesting.

The Just K House has a whopping five floors, which certainly satisfies the two adults and four kids who live there. A simple look at the Just K House undoubtedly screams contemporary and cool.

1. Vertical Homes - Consumers are opting for smaller spaces where they can build upwards as opposed to outwards, creating disruptive opportunities for companies that can design and build efficient vertical homes.
2. Rubber Architecture - The use of rubber as a building material presents a unique and eye-catching design aesthetic, offering opportunities for companies to explore innovative ways to incorporate sustainable and cost-effective materials into their architectural designs.
3. Juxtaposition Design - The use of contrasting materials and design elements such as timber interiors and rubber exteriors in home design presents an opportunity for companies to create unique and visually appealing homes that stand out on the market.
Industry Implications
