Many home builders, architects, and construction industry stakeholders believe that efficiency, sustainability, wellness, and connection with nature define the construction industry in 2023 and beyond. And with the best technology in this generation, it’s high time to rethink the current design approach to houses and start a new era in construction.
One of the key trends in the world today is a shift towards building homes that are eco-friendly and focus on a reduction in the consumption of energy and carbon emissions. In fact, some of the measures introduced to make each new home as environmentally friendly as possible include photovoltaic roof panels, increased wall, floor, and roof insulation, energy-efficient heating, and lighting systems, A+ rated appliances, and even compost bins to reduce the amount of household waste sent to landfill.
Low-Maintenance Materials
For busy young families, homeowners prefer homes that can be built with materials that don’t need to be constantly painted or maintained. Granite counters, Hardie plank siding, and a longer-lasting paint, for instance, offer a reduction of workload for homeowners. Many believe that people nowadays have more casual lifestyles than in the past and they expect their homes to reflect their lack of formality which means they all want things in their homes to make lives easier.
Outdoor and Indoor Living
Nowadays, buyers are also adding covers or screens to their outdoor spaces so they can use them year-round. They also like direct access from the master suite, as well as living areas to a patio or porch.
Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits are popular, along with walls of glass doors for visual connections between indoor and outdoor rooms. Screened porches are also in because people want to use them all year round. Likewise, outdoor TVs and speakers are also popular for entertaining outside.
Flexible Rooms with Hybrid Interior Design
Nowadays, people like to put a flexible space on each level, such as a home office on the first floor that can morph into a guest room or a dining room and a playroom that can become a study upstairs. A room with a big table is also advisable. It can function as an office and then be cleared for occasional use as a dining room.
Moreover, the kitchen has become the showplace of the home and the largest area of the house now that everyone entertains casually.
For big houses, kitchen islands are getting bigger and are being designed for multifunctional use with materials that are anti-microbial and stain resistant.
Many home buyers today like the contemporary look, but prefer to tone it down for themselves. Millennials take more risks, are creative, and willing to mix different colors and design styles mixing traditional and western styles.

Building with EcoSIPs
SIPs are high-performance building systems for residential and light commercial construction. A panel consisting of two outer skins and an inner core of insulating materials to form a monolithic unit is pre-fabricated at the plant to fit nearly any building design. Building with SIPs will save you time, money, and labor because the structures last longer and are lighter than CHB (85% lighter). They are fast and easy to install and provide at least 50% savings on your monthly electric bills. SIPs buildings are more comfortable and cooler (Excellent and consistent R-Value), has good acoustic performance and better seismic performance
