# Contemporary Canyon Retreats The Jackson House is a Luxe and Modern Vacation Home in Big Sur By Madison Mackay | Published 2018-04-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-jackson-house References: [uncrate](https://uncrate.com/jackson-house/) & [fougeron](http://www.fougeron.com/project/jackson) California-based Fougeron Architects created the Jackson House, a modern home made of copper, concrete, timber and glass. Located in beautiful Big Sur, the home is placed right on the base of a canyon built on a foundation of stilts giving it the appearance of hovering. The structure is made up of four main spaces, each clad in a different material. With an oversized [butterfly roof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-yuri) on top, the home has multiple covered terraces to maximize outdoor living. The private bedrooms and luxurious bathrooms are set aside from the rest of the open floor plan that was left open for communal living. The main living room of the Jackson House features [large windows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-ridge) that offer a unique view of the surrounding canyon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 33% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Canyon Retreats:** Disruptive innovation opportunities with the use of unconventional and sustainable materials. - **Elevated Foundations:** Disruptive innovation opportunities with the use of stilts and other elevated foundation technologies. - **Communal Living Spaces:** Disruptive innovation opportunities with the use of open floor plans and shared spaces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Real Estate:** Innovative solutions to build luxurious and eco-friendly homes in unique locations. - **Architecture:** Creative use of unconventional materials in modern designs, focusing on sustainable and eco-friendly approaches. - **Tourism:** Development of unique vacation experiences that incorporate nature and privacy with luxury amenities and modern architecture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ocean-Overlooking Perched Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-sur.md) - [Minimal Mountain Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caju-house.md) - [Hilltop Modern Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cloud-house.md) - [Modern Mountainous Luxury Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robert-chisholm-architects.md) - [Off-Grid Oceanside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campos-studio.md) - [Glass Philosophical Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-ridge.md) - [California Coastline Renovated Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-sur-house.md) - [Sculpted Oak Grove Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lj-residence.md) - [Blackened Timber Tranquil Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hideaway-house.md)
