The design language highlights [concrete interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/child-studio-1) and has a [textured brick design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-eades) at the exterior sides of the house. It rests along the corner of what was formerly a builder's yard. Now, it is a three-story home that boasts a unique and irregular structure. Patrick Mitchell, who is a partner at the studio speaks to Dezeen about the [triangular space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangle-house-1), he states that "The form of the proposal had to be carefully considered in perspective so that the width of the house to the rear would not dominate the slim front facade in views from the street. I find these anomaly sites of particular interest as they present an opportunity for individualistic, quirky designs that enliven the street scene by creating a counterpoint to their more conventional neighbours." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 14% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Textured Brick Homes:** Innovative use of textured brick in residential architecture by Platform 5 Architects presents opportunities for unique design language and individualistic homes. - **Irregular Structure Architecture:** The NW10 House's irregular structure design presents opportunities for architects to optimize infill sites and create unique homes. - **Concrete Interiors Design:** The NW10 House's concrete interior design presents opportunities for architects to explore unconventional material usage and create modern interior spaces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Residential Construction:** Innovative residential architecture trends by Platform 5 Architects presents opportunities for growth in residential construction and design industries. - **Architecture:** Platform 5 Architects' innovative and unique designs present opportunities for growth in the architecture industry. - **Interior Design:** The NW10 House's unconventional and modern interior design presents opportunities for growth in the interior design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Brick Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-1.md) - [Lime Plastered Terraced House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arch-house.md) - [Small Footprint Brick Bungalows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haringey-brick-bungalow.md) - [Timber-Framed Brick Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erbar-mattes.md) - [Textured Modern House Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hemp-house.md) - [Conservation Area Monumental Townhomes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-arches.md) - [Sandstone Brick Home Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-and-steel-house.md) - [Open-Plan Natural Material Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primrose-hill-house.md) - [Timber-Cladded Brick Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vavasour-house.md)
