It is typical for a hotel to be a closed space with not much in the way of air flow, but the Visage Hotel defies this tradition. The exterior of the Visage Hotel is built primarily of glass and other porous materials to allow for more [natural light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-con-lucarna) as well as natural air circulation, which together gives the hotel an open and fresh ambiance. The openness of the structure and its internal breeziness also ensure that it blends well with its surroundings. The designers have also designed the Visage Hotel so that the need for external power sources is reduced. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-friendly Architecture:** The Visage Hotel exemplifies the trend of incorporating natural elements and reducing reliance on external power sources in building design. - **Natural Ventilation:** The use of glass and porous materials in the Visage Hotel allows for increased natural air flow and creates a fresh and open ambiance. - **Integration with Surroundings:** The design of the Visage Hotel ensures that it seamlessly blends with its surroundings and enhances the overall aesthetic of the area. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Hotels can adopt eco-friendly architectural designs, such as those seen in the Visage Hotel, to provide guests with a unique and sustainable experience. - **Construction:** The use of natural ventilation techniques and integrating buildings with their surroundings, as demonstrated by the Visage Hotel, can be applied in the construction industry for more environmentally-friendly and aesthetically pleasing designs. - **Sustainable Tourism:** The Visage Hotel's focus on eco-friendly architecture and natural ventilation reflects the growing trend in the tourism industry towards sustainable practices and environmentally-conscious accommodations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrant Tropical Guesthouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bi-design-house.md) - [Femininity-Exploring Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xique-boutique-hotel.md) - [Earthy Tonal Coastal Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mylos-hotel.md) - [U-Shaped Atrium Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-volga.md) - [Glamorous Urban Tranquil Villas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natural-villa.md) - [Minimal Wooden Lush Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boca-de-agua.md) - [Beachside Architectural Retreat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suuel-hotel.md) - [Perforated Facade Urban Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veil-house.md) - [Open-Air Kenyan Holiday Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/falcon-house-1.md)
