They hired Cory Buckner Architects to do the job and let's just say the home looks better than ever. The design [added a second story level](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portland-house-renovation) to the home which allows for a bigger [master bedroom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/westchester-family-home), a working office and even a paint studio. Most of the rooms such as the kitchen and the old master suite of the Korman Residence is still in tact despite the renovations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Vertical Expansion:** The addition of a second story level to the Korman Residence demonstrates the trend of vertical expansion in home renovations. - **Home Office Integration:** The inclusion of a working office in the redesigned Korman Residence reflects the growing trend of integrating home offices into residential spaces. - **Preserving Original Features:** The decision to keep the kitchen and old master suite of the Korman Residence intact while renovating represents the trend of preserving original features in home redesigns. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture and Design:** The Korman Residence renovation showcases innovative architectural and design concepts, presenting opportunities for professionals in the architecture and design industries. - **Home Renovation and Construction:** The successful transformation of the Korman Residence highlights opportunities in the home renovation and construction industry for projects involving vertical expansions and maintaining original features. - **Home Office Solutions:** The integration of a functional home office in the Korman Residence signifies a growing demand for home office solutions, creating opportunities for companies specializing in home office design and furnishing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nature-Inspired Minimal Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zen-house-1.md) - [Renovated Cantilevered Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollingwood-modern.md) - [Mid-Century Style Montreal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/residence-ave-duchastel.md) - [Retro Themed A-Frame Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arrowhead-double-aframe-house.md) - [Blocky Extended Transformed Bunaglows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osullivan-skoufoglou-architects.md) - [Renovated Multi-Gen Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/n7-bretscha-house.md) - [Ceramic Modern Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hillsborough-residence.md) - [Streamlined Modern Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norton-house.md) - [Reimagined Retro Californian Ranch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destination-eichler.md)
