# Vegetation-Resembling Homes Oas1s Houses Are Designed to Be Green, Both Figuratively and Literally By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2015-10-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oas1s-houses References: [uncrate](http://uncrate.com/stuff/oas1s-houses/) & [oas1s](http://www.oas1s.com) The [standard home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cabana) can be upgraded to be as eco-friendly as possible, but even then it's still not quite as green (figuratively and literally) as Oas1s Houses that are designed to [blend into their surroundings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-by-the-grove) rather than stick out. Eco-conscious in and out, Oas1s Houses feature a standard design with a floor model that measures 6 x 6 x 12-meters, which translates to about 160 square meters of living space that's spread across four floors. Designed with [living facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rewild-homes), Oas1s Houses look to work with nature rather than fight against it to live a more symbiotic existence. Those wondering why the name "Oas1s Houses" features a "1" instead of an "i" will be pleasantly surprised to know that it's because the homes are shaped like the number "1," hence the wordplay. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Living Facades:** The trend of incorporating living facades into building designs to promote a symbiotic existence with nature presents opportunities for designers and architects to create innovative and eco-conscious structures. - **Green Homes:** The trend of designing homes to incorporate nature and be as eco-friendly as possible provides disruptive innovation opportunities in sustainable architecture and construction. - **Integration with Surroundings:** The trend of designing homes that blend into their surroundings rather than stick out represents an opportunity for builders to create more harmonious homes that promote a connection with nature. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** There is an opportunity for architects to disrupt the traditional home design industry by creating homes that prioritize eco-consciousness and symbiosis with nature. - **Construction:** The construction industry can innovate by incorporating sustainable materials and building techniques to construct eco-friendly homes that promote a harmonious existence with nature. - **Real Estate:** Real estate professionals can offer innovative living options to eco-conscious consumers by specializing in homes that seamlessly integrate with their surroundings and prioritize sustainability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Circular Garden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-o.md) - [Contemporary Weatherized Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acute-house.md) - [Solar Powered Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e55000.md) - [Plant-Covered Concrete Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-kd45.md) - [Geometric Structural Forest Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c-house.md) - [Landscape-Integrated Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-by-the-grove.md) - [Compact Sustainable Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cabana.md) - [Bamboo-Clad Residential Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-park-villa.md) - [Olive Tree-Centric Wooden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twentieth-house.md)
