I absolutely love this Queensland, Australia house from top to bottom. Some of the awesome features of the Peregian Beach House by Middap Architects include a thermal mass that allows the house to cool or warm along with the natural climate and a [solar hot water system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campos-studio). See the links for more of this home's innovative features. **Implications** - Architecture, eager to incorporate developing technologies into building design, has recently turned toward more "futuristic" looks. Although the housing market is just recovering, the arena is ripe for the introduction of new, cheaper, more utilitarian homes to replace the more expensive, traditionally built structures that are being foreclosed on. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 70% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Futuristic Architecture:** Architecture is turning towards futuristic looks and developing technologies for building design. - **Utilitarian Homes:** Introduction of new, cheaper and more utilitarian homes to replace the more expensive traditionally built structures. - **Eco-friendly and Sustainable Homes:** Use of thermal mass and solar hot water system for eco-friendly and sustainable homes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Real Estate:** Real estate can explore the introduction of new and affordable homes with utilitarian designs. - **Architecture:** Architecture can leverage futuristic designs and developing technologies for building sustainable homes. - **Renewable Energy:** Renewable energy companies can explore the use of thermal mass and solar hot water system in homes and buildings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Organic Coastal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diachok-architects.md) - [Minimalist Beach House Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1980s-beach-house.md) - [Fiji Ocean-Front Estate Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reef-house.md) - [Light-Filled Open Beach Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-sky-beach-house.md) - [Beach Club-Inspired Holiday Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sydney-coastal-home.md) - [Modern Architectural Seaside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strandhouse.md) - [Cedar-Clad L-Shaped Beach Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ospreys-landing.md) - [Boxy Shaped Beach Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roman-izquierdo-bouldstridge.md) - [Coastal Mid-Century Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-anglesea.md)
