The creative couple had always wondered what it would be like to create a [house made entirely out of windows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beaufort-bushland-retreat), and they turned that dream into a reality. The premise of the natural abode was to create a space where the sunset would never be contained within a small space. This romantic architecture project proved to be a difficult task, but the couple persevered and finished their amazing [windowed home in the mountains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timber-nest) of West Virginia. The entire process was captured by filmmakers Matt Glass and Jordan Wayne. The concept of both the story and the project will definitely be an inspiration to follow your dreams. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Romantic Architecture:** The trend of building unique and romantic homes could create opportunities for disruptive innovation in the construction and real estate industries. - **Sustainable Architecture:** Creating homes with sustainable materials and designs could be a trend in the architecture industry that disrupts traditional construction methods and materials. - **Window Architecture:** Designing homes with unconventional window placements and unique designs could disrupt the traditional style and architecture of homes. ### Where This Applies - **Construction:** The trend of romantic and sustainable architecture could disrupt the construction industry, encouraging builders to use new materials and designs to meet client demands. - **Real Estate:** As the trend of unique and romantic architecture grows, the real estate industry could see a shift towards a focus on properties with unique and unconventional designs. - **Architecture:** The trend of window architecture could disrupt the traditional design of homes and encourage architects to come up with innovative and unconventional designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creative Work-Encouraging Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silver-lining-house.md) - [Modern Ruin-Inspired Californian Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romick-house.md) - [Window-Emulating Lighting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/window-chronicles.md) - [Remote Work-Catering Modern Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-plow.md) - [Glass Bridge-Connected Small Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pjcarchitecture.md) - [Abstract Fantasy Home Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abstract-fantasy-home.md) - [Hilltop Modern Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cloud-house.md) - [Math Equation-Inspired Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-countless-windows.md) - [Nature-Immersed Creative Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/french-creek-workhops-house.md)
