# Stony Wooden Homes Sticks & Stones Home is in the Sydney Suburb of Hunters Hill By Joey Haar | Published 2017-05-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sticks-stones-home References: [archdaily](http://www.archdaily.com/870463/sticks-and-stones-home-luigi-rosselli) & [luigirosselli](http://luigirosselli.com/residential/sticks-stones-home) Sticks & Stones Home can be called by whatever name cruel passersby want, but the home and its residents will hardly mind. Anyone looking on the home would be hard-pressed to come up with an apt insult anyway, as the attractively designed abode brings to bear the universally loved mid-century modern aesthetic of classic titans of architecture like Frank Lloyd Wright and Eero Saarinen. Though the area in which Sticks & Stones Home is built, Hunters Hill, was subdivided from Sydney proper in the 19th century, not many of the surrounding homes adhere to the same mid-century modern stylings. Instead, many of the houses in the area make ample use of sandstone, with a Victorian height that juxtaposes against the expansive width of the classic architectural style. Sticks & Stones Home makes use of sandstone as well, but it builds that yellow stone into cobbled walls that transport one back in time. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mid-century Modern Design:** Opportunities for designers to incorporate mid-century modern aesthetic into new home constructions. - **Sandstone Revival:** Potential for renewed interest in the use of sandstone as building material for modern homes. - **Nostalgic Cobblestone Walls:** Incorporating cobbled walls into modern home designs for a unique, nostalgic look. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Architecture firms can make use of mid-century modern design elements and cobbled walls to create unique, trend-setting homes. - **Construction:** Construction companies can specialize in building homes with sandstone walls for a distinct aesthetic. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can use mid-century modern design to create unique and stylish living spaces that incorporate historic elements into modern designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sandstone Brick Home Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-and-steel-house.md) - [Weathered Stone Minimal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cotswold-house.md) - [Scattered Boulder-Inspired Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rockbound.md) - [Beach Shack-Inspired Wooden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bangalow-road-house.md) - [Stone Plinth-Grounded Modern Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayn3.md) - [Compact Stone Conversions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/figuier-house.md) - [Weatherized Visual Wooden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hundred-acre-wood.md) - [Stone Cottage Renos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hameart-project.md) - [Local Stone-Clad Coastal Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caochan-na-creige.md)
