Each unit of this condominium is rotated 45 degrees to give residents a full view of the ocean and public park that surrounds the building. The building's geometric design lets each unit get sunshine, and breeze off the water. Renting a unit from this condo is quite the upgrade from typical apartment buildings. Each unit is a [two-story townhouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twisted-house1) complete with a deck that has its own garden, trees and pool -- talk about [luxurious](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-miami)! This condo is in one of the most stunning residential areas in Lima. Being suspended 60 floors above ground in your own private pool that overlooks the ocean is paradise. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: South 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's Driving This Trend - **Rotated Condominiums:** Opportunity for designing buildings that offer unique views and experiences by rotating the units 45 degrees. - **Two-story Townhouse Apartments:** Opportunity to innovate by offering luxurious apartment buildings with two-story townhouses complete with private decks, garden, trees, and pool. - **Geometric Building Designs:** Opportunity to use geometric designs to improve natural sunlight, air flow, and provide unique views for residents. ### Who This Affects Most - **Real Estate:** Innovate in real estate industry by offering luxurious apartment buildings with unique designs, layouts, and amenities to attract high-end clients. - **Architecture:** Opportunity for architects to explore geometric designs to improve natural sunlight, air flow and create unique living experiences for residents. - **Construction:** Construction companies can explore new building techniques and materials to support innovative designs and offer greater value to customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Warped Stacked Residence Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quinta-do-rei.md) - [Dynamic Living Towered Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onze22.md) - [Twisted Concrete Tower Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alta-tower.md) - [Staggered Cubic Skyscrapers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ooda.md) - [Curved Green Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-island.md) - [Lakefront District Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lake-views.md) - [Glossy Panelled Pentagonal Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinwheel.md) - [Organic Striking Tower Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-leaves.md) - [Vaulted Pink Complexes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/babel-housing-mexico.md)
