Located in the heart of Poznan, Poland, this rectilinear home is attached to a retro, two storey building. The residence boasts a minimalist aesthetic that is enhanced with baroque elements, adorning its facade. The new house is a renovation of a semi-detached dwelling from the 1970s and features its client's vast and antique furniture collection. 'Its architects were free to use the whole width of the house and constructed a double garage with a shallow ramp at the front with a fully glazed prospect at the back.' In addition to its other features, the Perforated House by Piotr Kluj and Pawel Litwinowicz allows direct garden access from its living room. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Modernized Baroque Housing:** The trend of modernizing baroque design elements in residential architecture creates opportunities for architects and designers to blend historical elegance with contemporary aesthetics. - **Minimalist Aesthetic:** The trend of incorporating minimalist design elements in baroque-inspired architecture offers opportunities for interior designers and furniture manufacturers to create pieces that combine opulence with simplicity. - **Integrating Indoor and Outdoor Spaces:** The trend of incorporating direct garden access from living spaces in residential design opens up opportunities for landscape architects and developers to create seamless indoor-outdoor experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** Architects can explore innovative ways to modernize traditional architectural styles, such as baroque, while preserving their historical essence. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers have the opportunity to create unique and harmonious spaces by blending minimalist aesthetics with baroque design elements. - **Landscape Architecture:** Landscape architects can design outdoor spaces that seamlessly integrate with indoor areas, providing a unified and visually appealing experience for residents. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Polish Home Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grzegorz-layer.md) - [Renovated 19th-Century Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byr-architekti.md) - [Perforated Facade Compact Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porous-adobe.md) - [Blocky Stone Perimeter Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forte-house.md) - [Concrete Gridded Garden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rua-polnia-house.md) - [Discreet Architectural Polish Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loop-house.md) - [Polish Spa Town Villas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-for-ela.md) - [Refined Modern Dwellings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silver-house.md) - [Compact White-Painted Modern Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whitepainted-modern-home.md)
