The space features a unconventional aesthetic made from a mosaic of different door types and styles as a way to repurpose unwanted material and reflect the aesthetic of the local area. The house is modern in design with a two floor walk-up made from a [concrete base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-house-1). The front of the house features a small extended [blue glass porch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-brick-house) and a facade constructed using a variety of doors and vintage windows stacked together to create a collage. Each door and window can be opened to let air in and expose the entire wall to the outdoors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 35% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Recycled Materials:** Using recycled materials, such as old doors, for architectural features presents opportunities for sustainable and unique designs. - **Repurposing:** Repurposing unwanted materials, like old door frames, can lead to innovative and environmentally-friendly solutions in construction and design. - **Unconventional Aesthetics:** Creating unconventional aesthetics by using a mosaic of different door types and styles allows for architectural creativity and distinctive visual appeal. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture and Design:** The architecture and design industry can embrace the use of recycled materials and repurposing techniques to create sustainable and visually appealing structures. - **Construction:** In the construction industry, using recycled materials like old doors can lead to cost-effective and eco-friendly building practices. - **Sustainability:** Sustainability-focused industries can adopt the concept of reusing materials and implementing unconventional aesthetics to promote eco-consciousness and innovation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Warehouse-Transformed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-many-faces.md) - [Recycling-Centric Waterfront Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shor-house.md) - [Slopped-Base Green Tiled Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bak-gordon-arquitectos.md) - [Adaptive Family Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-ordinary-house.md) - [Sculptural Inverted Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-with-an-inverted-roof.md) - [Openable Wooden Shutter Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-house-1.md) - [Privacy Enhanced Minimal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-open-house-1.md) - [Perforated Facade Compact Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porous-adobe.md) - [Green Tiled Extended Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sofie-house.md)
