# House-Shaped Windows The Pentagon Window House by Suppose Design By Marissa Liu | Published 2009-12-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentagon-window-house References: [a212](http://www.a212.com/2009/12/house-house-in-jigozen-japan-by-suppose.html) & [suppose.jp](http://www.suppose.jp/) This pentagon window house in Jigozen, Japan was built by Suppose Design to house a family of three in this seaside city. The exterior and interior flow seamlessly in a design that had to be aware of the heavy wind, rain and typhoons that occurs yearly in the area. The shape of the pentagon window house seems almost unremarkable-as it is a just an ordinary, solid rectangle while the windows are in the traditional shape of a two dimensional house. This whimsical, yet simplistic play on shapes helps give the interior of the house an almost middle eastern feel. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Geometric-shape Buildings:** Designers and architects can explore non-traditional shapes and form structures that break the traditional mold of building designs. - **Seamless-exterior and Interior:** Architects can focus on creating buildings that have a seamless transition between the exterior and interior design for added natural beauty and harmony. - **Tropical Architecture:** Designers can incorporate tropical architecture in areas affected by wind, rain, and typhoons to create buildings that withstand frequent natural disasters and enhance the surrounding landscapes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Architects can incorporate innovative and sustainable design techniques to create buildings that stand out and offer improved functionality for occupants. - **Real Estate:** Real estate professionals can explore and invest in properties that feature unique designs and creative use of materials to appeal to modern buyers seeking distinctive homes. - **Construction:** Construction companies can apply the latest technology and building materials to create sustainable and long-lasting structures that can withstand frequent natural disasters and improve safety for occupants. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glossy Panelled Pentagonal Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinwheel.md) - [Pyramidal Concrete Japanese Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pyramid-hut.md) - [Math Equation-Inspired Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-countless-windows.md) - [Geometric Structural Forest Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c-house.md) - [Fish Tank-Inspired Japanese Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nao-iwanari.md) - [Dynamic Y-Shaped Glazed Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-y-house.md) - [Clear Glazing Compact Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/check-patterned-house.md) - [Chic Curved Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curved-house1.md) - [Pyramid-Like Suburban Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oza-sabbeth-architects.md)
