Want to make your home state-of-the-art? Start by getting rid of carpet and wallpaper.
We want your home to be the best and there's nothing like knowing the latest trends in architecture to achieve this. A preview: green is in fashion and will continue to be so today, tomorrow and the day after.
Just look at the architecture trends 2023 and you will understand:
Bet on energy efficiency
The construction sector has been improving the energy efficiency of homes for years , but with the increase in electricity prices, deductions for works to improve energy efficiency and aid from the Next Generation Europe funds , in 2023 it will be one of the main trends in architecture.
Better thermal insulation, ventilated facades, SATE, use of renewable energies, thermal bridge correction systems or water saving will be present in more and more projects. In 2023, more efficient houses will be built and the plan to renovate the existing housing stock will continue.
Sustainability as a goal
In line with the previous point and with the trends of the real estate market in 2023 , we will continue to work with sustainability as an objective. Standards such as Passivhaus or passive houses are gaining followers among those who choose to build their own home.
In multi-family housing projects, solutions are sought to generate renewable photovoltaic energy. More resistant, durable and less polluting materials are also used in their production.
All this concern for the environment and sustainability also has an effect on the mortgage market. Those who opt for an efficient home will be able to enjoy better financing conditions thanks to green mortgages .
If you think that all this is very well, but you already have your house, there are at least 5 ideas that will help you make a more sustainable home .
Flexible and multifunctional spaces
The concept of open, multifunctional coworking office spaces has gradually been reaching traditional companies and is now beginning to spread to homes.
This translates into larger spaces, with fewer walls and more defined functions , but with the capacity to adapt to different tasks. A space for work, another for meetings, another for leisure...
At home, too, there is a desire to create a sense of spaciousness, which to a certain extent has resulted in a new push towards minimalist decoration.
Mobility and home automation, with security
Mobility has also been a trend in architecture for years. All new constructions are now designed to offer zero obstacles to mobility.
In the workplace, offices will be sought where employees have freedom of movement, while maintaining security and privacy standards.
And inside the home? We will also try to create large spaces that favour current and future mobility, with wider doors, for example.
Home automation will continue to be introduced into more and more homes with lighting, heating and air conditioning systems, security and also household appliances. The idea is to make life easier within the home while increasing security and improving energy efficiency.
More industrialized constructions
Another branch of the commitment to sustainability. Many passive and energy-self-sufficient houses are so thanks to the industrialization of their materials and the entire production process.
This is an architectural and construction trend that will continue in 2023. It reduces the environmental impact of construction and speeds up production times. In addition, it is possible to offer higher quality and more sustainable homes for less money.
Augmented reality, to see your house before entering
Thanks to technology, you can see what your house is like before even buying it, and do so in a much more realistic way.
The use of augmented reality and other similar systems will allow you to visualise the work, make changes before construction work begins or adapt the decoration before making a decision.
Thanks to this tool, delivery times can be reduced, costs can be reduced and, above all, errors can be detected and avoided.
Designs with curves
The latest big trend is the return of curves. After years where straight lines have predominated, designs with curves are making a comeback , both in decorative elements and in architecture itself.
And since you want curves in your house, but not in your finances, look for a mortgage to build the house you want, adapting to your needs and not to theirs.
