# Cubic Mediterranean Abodes The Sunflower House by Cadaval & Sola-Morales Segments Spaces By Meghan Young | Published 2015-06-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunflower-house References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2015/06/02/sunflower-house-by-cadaval-sola-morales/) & [ca-so](http://www.ca-so.com/) The Sunflower House could be likened to a haphazard pile of toy blocks. But instead of letters and numbers decorating the sides of the wooden pieces, these oversized blocks are made out of [pristine white walls and glass windows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oak-house-1). Utterly chic, the unique design of the Sunflower House segments the interior spaces to create private nooks to better enjoy the stunning [panoramic view](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-95) outside. Designed by Cadaval & Solà-Morales, the Sunflower House is located by the Meditteranean Sea in Girona, Spain. The designers write, "The house wants to identify each of the particularities of this magnificent landscape; with its geometry, the house frames a multiplicity of different and specific views, and builds up content spaces that inhabit great big framed views." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Segmented Spaces:** Creating segmented spaces within architectural designs to enhance privacy and enjoyment of panoramic views. - **Unique Design:** Adopting unique and unconventional designs that make a bold statement and stand out from traditional architecture. - **Framed Views:** Using architectural geometry to frame specific views and enhance the connection between interior and exterior spaces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** Innovative architectural firms have an opportunity to design segmented spaces and unique structures for residential and commercial buildings. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can incorporate unique designs and segmented spaces in resorts, hotels, and vacation rentals to provide guests with exceptional aesthetic experiences and privacy. - **Real Estate:** Real estate developers and agents can market segmented spaces and unique design features as selling points for residential and commercial properties. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Colorfully Bright Hillside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canary-house.md) - [Floral Wall-Defined Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-ptios-de-ptalas.md) - [Solar-Powered Mexico Holiday Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-girasol.md) - [Boxy Shaped Beach Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roman-izquierdo-bouldstridge.md) - [Reflective Artful Calming Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-gesso.md) - [Tree-Centered Cubic Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tonalli-house.md) - [Burnt Orange Walled Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-magarola.md) - [Minimal White-Plastered Hillside Villas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bundle-house.md) - [Geometric Structural Forest Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c-house.md)
