# Cat-Eared Cabins The Pedervegen 8 Residence Features a Pair of Curious Rooftop Protrusions By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-05-02 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pedervegen-8 References: [leibal](http://leibal.com/architecture/pedervegen-8/) & [rdtw.no](http://www.rdtw.no/prosjekter/pv8/) Deviating from either the flat or the [typical pitched roof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-with-an-inverted-roof), the Pedervegen 8 residence has been built with two unusual projections towards its western end. Located in Norway, the dwelling is a [single-level house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/catalejo) with just one bedroom, into which the owners hoped to draw great amounts of sunlight. The solution of [Rever & Drage Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rever-drage) was to integrate light wells: one would face the sunrise and the other, the sunset; one services the bathroom and the other, the bedroom. Warm rays are drawn in and down, illuminating the features of each space from above. On the outside of the Pedervegen 8 cottage, the skylights take the shapes of quarter-circular protuberances that are quite prominent and very unique. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Unconventional Architecture:** The use of unusual projections in the design of the Pedervegen 8 residence presents opportunities for innovative and unique architectural concepts. - **Natural Light Integration:** The integration of light wells in the Pedervegen 8 residence demonstrates potential for designs that maximize natural light exposure and create a welcoming and illuminated interior. - **Geometric Exterior Elements:** The skylights in the form of quarter-circular protuberances on the exterior of the Pedervegen 8 cottage showcase the potential for incorporating geometric elements into architectural designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Residential Construction:** The unconventional design approach of the Pedervegen 8 residence presents opportunities for builders and designers in the residential construction industry to create distinctive and visually appealing homes. - **Interior Design:** The use of light wells in the Pedervegen 8 residence offers possibilities for interior designers to explore creative ways to incorporate natural light and illuminate spaces. - **Architectural Materials:** The unique geometric skylights on the Pedervegen 8 cottage inspire innovation in the architectural materials industry, creating a demand for materials that allow for the creation of distinct and eye-catching shapes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Coastal Bright Red Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handegrd-arkitektur.md) - [Circular Windowed Woodland Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timber-nest.md) - [Forest Retreat Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oculus.md) - [Architectural Tranquil Cabin Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bolder-londges.md) - [Dark-Green Minimal Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scalar-architecture.md) - [Log Cabin-Inspired Minimal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restua.md) - [Arctic Floating Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-vipp-guesthouse.md) - [Book-Inspired Timber-Lined Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hat-house.md) - [Wedge-Shaped Stealthy Cottages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbora-vokac-taylor-architect.md)
