# Upwards-Tilting Homes The Leaning House's Tilted Design Helps It Capture Sunlight By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-10-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leaning-houses References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/leaning-house-praud/34101/) & [praud.info](http://www.praud.info/) The Leaning House is a residential property that tilts upwards, allowing clients to enjoy an excellent view of the nearby lake while also attracting sunlight despite the [surrounding landscape being quite hilly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b2a-architects). The home is located near Seoul, South Korea and is designed by the Praud architecture firm. The interior of the Leaning House is open-concept and consists of a family room, living room, kitchen, terrace and a mezzanine with a reading room, library, bedroom and bathroom. The lake view can be taken in from the balcony, which can be accessed by a flight of stairs. Another benefit of the [tilted house design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twisted-house1) is the creation of a [small shaded terrace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-under-the-poplars) at the front of the home. The structure is zinc-clad and takes up 96 square meters of space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 - **Upwards-tilting Homes:** Designing homes with an upward tilt to capture sunlight and provide excellent views. - **Open-concept Interiors:** Creating homes with open-concept interiors for a spacious and modern living experience. - **Shaded Terraces:** Incorporating shaded terraces in home designs to provide outdoor spaces for relaxation and privacy. ### Where This Applies - **Residential Architecture:** Opportunity for architectural firms to explore innovative designs that integrate upward tilting and open-concept interiors in residential properties. - **Real Estate Development:** Potential for real estate developers to capitalize on the appeal of upwards-tilting homes with lake views and modern interior designs. - **Home Construction Materials:** Manufacturers of zinc-clad materials can benefit from the increased demand for construction materials used in the creation of tilted homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chic Curved Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curved-house1.md) - [Hillside Embedded Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-the-slope.md) - [Sculptural Inverted Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-with-an-inverted-roof.md) - [Roof-Planed Cascading Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worrell-yeung.md) - [Hillside Family Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sky-house-1.md) - [Thoughtful Lakeside Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lakeside-living.md) - [Faceted Cedar Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-house-on-a-hill.md) - [Terraced Garden-Surrounded Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lechuza-house.md) - [Trapezoidal Concrete Forest Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksa-studen.md)
