Looking closer, however, it was clear that it was not floating on water. Designed by Tony Owen Partners, the [Sydney Moebius House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fractal-facade-house) follows what is known as ‘[micro design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vettel-haus).’ By creating a home that focuses on minute changes and maximization of environmental interactivity, the Moebius House doesn’t need to be on water for it to be an experience. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Micro Design Homes:** Creating homes that focus on minute changes and maximization of environmental interactivity. - **Yacht-inspired Homes:** Designing homes that look and feel like luxury yachts. - **Innovative Home Architecture:** Exploring new and unique architectural designs for homes. ### Where This Applies - **Real Estate:** Developing and selling micro design and yacht-inspired homes. - **Architecture:** Incorporating innovative design elements into home architecture. - **Luxury Home Furnishings:** Creating and selling luxury furnishings and decor to match the unique design of these homes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Curved Family Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moon-house-1.md) - [Sleek Compact Floating Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blatto-boat.md) - [Residential Transformative Yacht Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piedmer.md) - [Whimsical Futuristic Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoohome.md) - [Modern Floating Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pura-vida-floating-home.md) - [Dynamic Y-Shaped Glazed Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-y-house.md) - [Figure 8-Structured House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-loop-house.md) - [Mountaintop Cantilevered Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levitae-house.md) - [Organic Coastal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diachok-architects.md)
