# Lush Open-Air Homes The One Tree Hill House in Singapore Blends Indoor & Outdoor Spaces By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-09-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-tree-hill-house References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/one-tree-hill-ongong/) & [ong-ong](http://www.ong-ong.com/) The One Tree Hill House by ONG&ONG; was created in a harmonious collaboration in which the architectural components were designed by Teo Boon Kiat, and the interiors by Natalie Louey. The design of the house was primarily developed so that living spaces were situated inside and outside of the property, making it easy to lounge wherever. On the outside of the house, the facade includes a number of slats that protect the driveway and provide shade from the sunny Singapore skies. Around the back of the property, there's a gorgeous lounge that you can get to from the kitchen area, so that entertaining indoors or out is easy, especially since the are can be expanded with glass doors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Blended Living:** Disruptive innovation opportunities lie in designing spaces that seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor areas, offering a versatile and flexible living experience. - **Open-air Architecture:** Embracing open-air designs and incorporating elements like slats and glass doors can create a connection between the indoors and outdoors, providing a refreshing and contemporary living environment. - **Multi-functional Spaces:** Creating spaces that can easily transition between different functions, such as lounging and entertaining, allows for a dynamic and adaptable lifestyle. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture:** Architects can explore opportunities in designing homes that prioritize blending indoor and outdoor spaces, offering unique and immersive living experiences. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate open-air concepts and multi-functional spaces into their designs, enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of living environments. - **Building Materials:** Companies in the building materials industry can innovate and develop materials that facilitate the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, providing sustainable and efficient solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Natural Landscape-Surrounding Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/under-the-rain-trees.md) - [Terraced Light Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-under-the-poplars.md) - [Living Landscape Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hedge-and-arbour-house.md) - [Tree-Surrounding Contemporary Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-oak-ride-residence.md) - [Coastal View Island Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cape-drive-residence.md) - [Japanese Concept-Inspired Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oku-house.md) - [Floating Courtyard Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baan-oo.md) - [Circular Garden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-o.md) - [Layered Hillside Villas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-villa-bo.md)
