This house offers an array of sustainability features, but is quite unique that it has a large net suspended between its floors, as well as an indoor lawn. The net lounge hangs above the lawn and is intended to be a place where residents can relax and play. The building is equipped with a [green roof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haus-am-lagnesberg) that helps insulate it; the roof is angled, effectively increasing the size of the sunlight-facing window during winter. Passive House Che is also sheathed with Vaporproof membranes designed to protect against condensation in the summer and help speed up drying in the winter. Construction of the house began in 2009 and was completed last year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sustainable Homes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new materials and construction methods to build eco-friendly homes with minimal environmental impact. - **Indoor Green Spaces:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate indoor gardens or lawns into architectural designs to create unique and nature-inspired living spaces. - **Net Lounge Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the incorporation of suspended net structures in buildings to provide novel spaces for relaxation and recreation. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine sustainable practices and innovative design concepts to create environmentally friendly structures that promote well-being. - **Construction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced construction technologies and methods that prioritize energy efficiency and sustainable building practices. - **Interior Design and Furnishing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore creative ways to incorporate indoor green spaces and unique lounge structures into interior design to enhance the living experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tranquil Argentinian Forest Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-house-1.md) - [Forested Raised Metal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-the-forest.md) - [Gabled Forest-Side Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frame-house-1.md) - [Geometric Structural Forest Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c-house.md) - [Trapezoidal Concrete Forest Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksa-studen.md) - [CLT Sunken Hungarian Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clt-house.md) - [Forest Sanctuary Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sadowski-house.md) - [A-Frame Forest Tranquil Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prez-palacios-arquitectos-asociados.md) - [Sustainable Country Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/three-oaks-farm.md)
