As the building is located on a [steep hill](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-house-on-a-hill), the architects have designed a 200 foot long wall made of [board-formed concrete](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alloa-hills-weekend-home) to provide a level and even space for the construction of a garden and the two living quarters. Occupying 6,400 square foot, the exterior of the main house is [steel-framed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steel-a-frame), featuring narrow wooden boards and aluminium sections used as detailing, that line the remainder of the exterior. There is a long projecting deck that is immersed in the trees that are next to the structure, made with the intention of reconnecting with nature. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sustainable Architecture:** There are opportunities for disruptive innovation in creating eco-friendly and energy-efficient homes using sustainable materials like aluminium. - **Integration of Nature:** Incorporating elements of nature into architectural designs can lead to innovative living spaces that promote a sense of connection with the environment. - **Modular Living:** The use of modular construction techniques opens up possibilities for flexible and adaptable housing solutions, allowing for customization and future expansion. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Construction and Architecture:** The construction and architecture industry can explore new approaches and technologies to create sustainable and nature-inspired homes using materials like aluminium. - **Sustainable Materials:** The production and use of sustainable materials like aluminium in building and construction can revolutionize the industry and contribute to a greener future. - **Interior Design and Lifestyle:** Incorporating natural elements and sustainable design principles in interior design and lifestyle products can cater to the growing demand for eco-conscious living spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Simple Material Family Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openfield-house.md) - [Nature-Rooted Family Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haus-am-lagnesberg.md) - [Mountainside Cedar Alpine Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elizabeth-roberts-architects.md) - [Scattered Boulder-Inspired Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rockbound.md) - [Residential Mountain Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avber-house.md) - [Minimal Mountain Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caju-house.md) - [Corrugated Metal Barn-Like Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studioac.md) - [Tranquil A‑Frame Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steel-a-frame.md) - [Materially Expressive Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alma-switch-house.md)
