The 80s building is located on the South East coast of Australia. With a [surrounding bush](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hedge-and-arbour-house), the home was placed in an irregular geometry shape. Featuring one single floor-to-roof door raises modern living to another level. The irregularity is seen clearly as [one roof is raised](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-with-an-inverted-roof) in a different way than the other, with extremely angular lines that end as the roof on the far end angles downwards towards the ground. The interior features expansive lounge areas and living space that accommodate and offer views of the postcard-like surrounding landscape; in the lower levels are storage units that also lead to an [adjoining deck with a kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mango-lane-house) and an island. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 89% | 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Angular Steel Structures:** Opportunity to design innovative and sustainable residential and commercial buildings using this unique architectural style. - **Irregular Geometry Shapes:** New design possibilities for homes, public spaces, and commercial buildings where the geometrical shapes can be used to create bold and striking architectural statements. - **Floor-to-roof Doors:** Innovative door designs for homes and commercial buildings that offer modern living solutions and bring new levels of practicality to architecture. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture and Design:** Incorporating these angular steel structures and irregular geometry shapes can create remarkable structural designs that are efficient and modern. - **Real Estate and Construction:** Application of these design trends can attract customers who are looking for unique and eco-friendly living and working spaces. - **Home and Interior Design:** Innovative design opportunities for door designs and interior layouts that offer convenience, practicality and take advantage of breathtaking views. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cave-Like Folded Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-house.md) - [Bushfire-Resistant Contemporary Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ironbark-house.md) - [Angular Black Cantilevered Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tallowwood-cabin.md) - [Brutalist Suburban Family Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/south-yarra-house.md) - [Green Zinc Paneling Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-house-1.md) - [Cutout Roof Cement-Clad Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edition-office.md) - [Simple Material Family Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openfield-house.md) - [Light-Filled Open Beach Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-sky-beach-house.md) - [Sculptural Inverted Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-house-with-an-inverted-roof.md)
