The traditional structure was built on a compact lot that is both centrally located yet quiet enough to not hear city noise. The new modern space offers unique features throughout, with large bathrooms, a [minimal color scheme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grigio-verde), modern kitchen and a unique staircase that acts as a focal point for the home. The team added pops of design flare by incorporating luxurious stones and marble in every room, for easy cleaning as well as unique style. The exterior brickwork, raw plaster walls and over-sized windows in the Mews House give off a loft-like aesthetic that ensures an interior that is bright and airy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Contemporary Architecture:** Designers are transforming traditional buildings into stylish modern spaces. - **Monochromatic Design:** Minimal color schemes are being used in modern residences. - **Luxury Materials:** Designers are incorporating luxurious stones and marble in home design. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture and Design:** Design firms are using traditional building styles as starting points to create modern spaces. - **Luxury Home Goods:** Luxury materials like marble are being used in contemporary home design. - **Real Estate:** Modern design features like minimal color schemes and spacious bathrooms are becoming more desirable in the housing market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Renovated Oak-Facade Mews Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trewhela-williams.md) - [House Renovation Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hearth-house.md) - [Dramatic Oak Mews Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mews-house-1.md) - [Reimagined Edwardian Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gunter-and-co.md) - [Minimalist London Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/158-purley-downs-road.md) - [Modern Brick Retro Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-excell.md) - [Eclectic London Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rufford-mews-apartment.md) - [Understated Modernist Artful Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/child-studio-1.md) - [Contemporary Infill Housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldsmith-mews.md)
