These September 2020 architecture trends range from prefab timber-clad homes to conical tech retailers.
When it comes to the month's most notable residences, standouts include Lukas Lenherr's Jonschwil house. The home boasts a minimalist and space-conscious design with a uniquely stacked floor plan. Inspired by traditional Japanese interior layouts, the residence measures just 99 square meters in size and spans three floors, taking over a previous coach house space.
Other September 2020 architecture trends to note include the prefabricated 'Tiny Tetra House' by Bali-based Stilt Studios. The home is not only space-conscious and affordable but is also sustainable. It is built primarily out of recycled materials -- "corrugated sheets that are crafted with Tetra Pak drink containers to form the walls and roof."
