12. TREND REPORT
2009
Exterior design is THE HOTTEST consumer shelter trend. Economic, geographic and psychographic conditions have all aligned to create the perfect
environment for investing in outdoor spaces.
Virtual Technologies Make More Leisure and Productive Time Outdoors
Wireless technologies and the cell phone have turned the outdoors into a virtual office and communication zone. As it is no longer necessary to be tethered to the
indoors by a wire, the option to spend more time in the outdoors is an attractive one. If there are more options to spend more time outside, investing more in exterior
design is a more practical solution than ever before.
Population Shifts to Favor the Outdoor Living Lifestyle
Geographic migration driven by baby boomer retirement to primarily sunshine and west coast states, results in massive increases in outdoor time, and outdoor
entertaining. The U.S. Census says this migratory trend will continue until 2016.
Consumers Want Green and Eco-friendly Living Solutions
Consumer spending on “green” will double in one year and reach $500 billion in 2008, according to the 2007 ImagePower Green Brands Survey. A well-appointed
garden space is the ultimate in green living.
Rising Energy Costs Make Outdoor Rooms Efficient
The Wall Street Journal went on to recognize that rising energy costs are helping to fuel the outdoor living boom. Due to rising energy costs, consumers are actively
redesigning outdoor spaces and, in doing so, adding valuable square footage to a home’s living area.
A Well-Designed Outdoor Room Increases Home Value
According to the National Association of Realtors “2007 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report,” the creation of a well-planned outdoor room is listed as one of the top four
home improvement projects that significantly add value at the time of resell.
Architects See Dramatic Increase in Popularity of Outdoor Living Spaces
According to the AIA 2006 Home Designs Trends Survey, almost two-thirds of architects reported an increase in demand for outdoor rooms, outdoor kitchens, patios,
and decks, a dramatic increase from just one year ago.
Landscape Architecture Continues to Grow in Career Opportunities
According the U.S. Department of Labor, employment of landscape architects is expected to grow faster than average compared to all occupations through the year
2016. The development and design of green spaces for both lifestyle and ecological reasons has necessitated this growth.
