# Angled Abodes The PL House Stays Standing Despite Dangerous Incline By Christina Butty | Published 2009-08-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pl-house References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2009/08/03/pl-house-by-fernando-maculan-and-pedro-morais/#more-35490) & [fernandomaculan](http://www.fernandomaculan.com/) This private residence, the PL House, designed by Fernando Maculan and Pedro Morais, is located in Brazil. The PL House is an interesting creative design located in a low density housing area of Belo Horizonte. Fernando Maculan and Pedro Morais built the house on a steep slope that has a 60% constant inclination. The PL House has a fantastic view and upper level glass walls that divide the kitchen, living room and den. Let’s just hope that incline doesn’t get in the way of this lovely home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 2% | 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's Driving This Trend - **Creative Design:** Exploring unique and innovative architectural designs that challenge conventional norms and create visually stunning spaces. - **Sustainable Architecture:** Developing environmentally-friendly building practices that take into account factors such as energy efficiency, materials sourcing, and waste reduction. - **Slope-based Construction:** Utilizing the natural landscape by constructing buildings on steep slopes, providing unique challenges and opportunities for architectural creativity. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture:** Architects and designers can push the boundaries of traditional design practices by embracing creative and sustainable solutions for unique building locales and unconventional landscapes. - **Real Estate:** Real estate developers and investors can explore the potential of slope-based construction to create exclusive and extraordinary properties that offer breathtaking views and one-of-a-kind living experiences. - **Construction:** Builders and contractors specializing in slope-based construction can offer their expertise and services to design and construct homes and structures that harmoniously integrate with the natural environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Terraced Garden-Surrounded Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lechuza-house.md) - [Charming Angular Contemporary Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trapezium-house.md) - [Mountaintop Cantilevered Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levitae-house.md) - [Resilient Hilltop Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capuchinas-house.md) - [Chilean Hillside Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-three-heights.md) - [Sculptural Inverted Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-with-an-inverted-roof.md) - [Hillside Embedded Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-the-slope.md) - [Modern Highland Residential Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-the-andes.md) - [Sleek Contemporary Brazilian Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laguna-house.md)
