Bright Contemporary Bungalows

The Villa Geldrop by Hofman Dujardin Revitalizes a Tired Type

— February 18, 2011 — Art & Design
The bungalow has a long global history and many manifestations, so it's refreshing to see it redefined once again in the Villa Geldrop by Hofman Dujardin Architects. This delightful dwelling can be found in the Netherlands and resembles its predecessors in numerous ways, but stands out thanks to a number of contemporary characteristics.

Encased in expansive curtain wall glass windowing, the Villa Geldrop by Hofman Dujardin becomes a bit of a fishbowl abode. A rectangular window punching out from the pitched roof reveals a design willing to build on the framework of the past.
Trend Themes
1. Expansive Curtain Wall Glass Windowing - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the glass manufacturing industry to create new and improved technologies for larger, more sustainable curtain wall systems.
2. Redefinition of the Bungalow - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the architectural industry to create new designs and features that breathe new life into the traditional concept of the bungalow.
3. Incorporation of Contemporary Characteristics - Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the construction industry to develop new building techniques and materials that seamlessly blend modern architectural features with traditional designs.
Industry Implications
1. Glass Manufacturing - Glass manufacturers have an opportunity to innovate by developing technologies that enable the creation of larger, more energy-efficient curtain wall systems.
2. Architecture - Architects can disrupt the industry by redefining the concept of the bungalow and incorporating contemporary characteristics to create unique and modern living spaces.
3. Construction - The construction industry can embrace disruptive innovation by exploring new building techniques and materials that combine traditional and modern architectural elements in a seamless manner.
