# Botanical Balconies Studio Seilern Whitehorse Development Gives New Meaning to Green House By Ryan Hinkson | Published 2010-04-13 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-seilern-whitehorse-development References: [designscene.net](http://www.designscene.net/2010/04/whitehorse-street-development-by-studio.html) & [studioseilern](http://www.studioseilern.com/) The Studio Seilern Whitehorse Development is the latest project in the ever popular and necessary trend of [eco-focused architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vert-installation). Set to be built in London, the building gives new meaning to the term 'green house.' The [botanical-covered balconies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonderwoods-vertical-forest) use plants to decorate the building exterior, lower lighting and A/C costs. It also provides shade and privacy to those who dwell within its [glass exterior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hope-villa). I'm sure that during the holidays, the electric bills will spike in the Studio Seilern Whitehorse Development, as this is the ultimate place to put up some Christmas lights. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-focused Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable and energy-efficient building designs by incorporating plants and greenery into the architecture. - **Botanical-covered Balconies:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative solutions for building exteriors by utilizing botanical-covered balconies to incorporate nature, lower energy consumption, and enhance living spaces. - **Green House Trend:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the emerging trend of incorporating living plants into building structures to improve environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, and occupants' well-being. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redefine the architectural landscape by integrating eco-focused designs that seamlessly merge nature and built environments. - **Construction:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Adopt sustainable construction practices that incorporate botanical-covered balconies and green building solutions. - **Urban Planning:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Reimagine urban spaces by incorporating green spaces and botanical elements to enhance the aesthetic appeal, energy efficiency, and well-being of urban dwellers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Planted Balcony Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-greens.md) - [Plant-Filled Latticed Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touching-eden-house.md) - [Greenery-Filled Skyscraper Terrarium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrarium-cheongdam.md) - [Living Landscape Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hedge-and-arbour-house.md) - [Skylit Belgian Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/he-winter-garden.md) - [Greenhouse-Topped Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-house-1.md) - [Window-Accented Garden Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verdant-house.md) - [Wildflower-Topped Extension Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoj-house.md) - [Plant-Covered Concrete Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-kd45.md)
