The front of the Australian home is slanted to one side, creating a boxed terrace with a street view that extends all the way to the distant Cuumbuen Nature Reserve. Meanwhile, the rear terrance, which leads into a [scenic garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verdant-house), acts as a sun trap during the winter months. The exterior of the home is clad in durable [corrugated metals, concrete blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anchor-house) and a large grid of windows. Dettrick explains, "The windows with small squares were an homage to the old mid-century modern house that the new house replaces." Inside, the home is divided into two wings, separated by a long hallway through the center. The joined kitchen and dining area leads into the rear terrace through a set of sliding glass doors. On the opposite side, a pitched roof optimizes the home's natural light. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Angularly Canopied Homes:** Incorporating angular roof canopies into home designs can create unique and visually striking exteriors. - **Slanted Front Terraces:** Designing homes with slanted front terraces offers residents a boxed terrace with extended views and a sense of sophistication. - **Pitched Roofs for Natural Light:** Utilizing pitched roofs in home designs can optimize natural light and create a bright and airy interior space. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Architects and home builders can explore incorporating angular roof canopies and slanted front terraces into their designs to offer unique and visually appealing homes to clients. - **Construction:** Construction companies can leverage the trend of incorporating pitched roofs to create energy-efficient and well-lit homes for their customers. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can take advantage of the pitched roof trend to create well-lit living spaces that feel open and spacious. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Angular Black Cantilevered Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tallowwood-cabin.md) - [Garden-Connected Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-waverley-house.md) - [Temple-Inspired Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/j-kidman-architecture.md) - [Living Landscape Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hedge-and-arbour-house.md) - [Sleek Garden-Edge Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waverley-house.md) - [Spacially Contrasting Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barwon-heads-house.md) - [Mirrored Terrace Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrace-house-mirage.md) - [External Walkway Pavilion-Style Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-lane-house.md) - [Privacy-Focused Australian Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clifton-house.md)
