BLDG Workshop designs the new Badlands home that is entirely white in a rural area that rests just outside of Toronto, Canada. It is named after the topographic features of a local area known as the Cheltenham Badlands in Caledon.
The entire construction of the space is white including the roof, the walls, and the windows for a monochromatic look that blends right into the winter Canadian landscape. Buhler from the studio talks about the design to Dezeen, stating that "We added a couple of shocks of color that make a playful nod to the nearby Badlands. Contrasting details of Corten steel nod to the Cheltenham area connecting the home to the Badlands' unique red earth features."

Trend Themes
1. Monochrome Homes - Designing homes entirely in one color creates a modern aesthetic and aligns with minimalist living.
2. Regional Architecture - Incorporating natural and cultural elements specific to a region can create a unique and authentic sense of place in architecture.
3. Playful Color Accents - Adding bright, contrasting hues to an otherwise neutral design can create visual interest and depth in a space.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Designing homes with unique and modern aesthetics and regional elements can create a niche market for architects.
2. Construction - Building homes with specific color schemes and unique design elements can create opportunities for construction companies to showcase their abilities in creating custom builds.
3. Interior Design - Designing the interior of homes with colorful accents can provide opportunities for interior designers to enhance the space and create visual interest.
