Modern Farmhouse Reconstructions

Casa Rizza by Matteo Inches is a Sleek and Rustic Home

— May 27, 2012 — Art & Design
The Casa Rizza home design is an ideal place to sit back, relax and forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Designed by Matteo Inches from the architectural firm Studio Inches, the home has been made exclusively for the mayor of Vacallo, a town in Switzerland. Looking at Casa Rizza now you would never guess that it used to house cows and pigs. Formerly an old farm building, Matteo transformed the rustic property into a modern one filled with white walls and big open spaces. Playing with the expected elements of a home, the floor features a concrete finish while the ceiling is a cozy wood construction.

Check out Casa Rizza to get some inspiration on how to combine contemporary style with a homey feel.
Trend Themes
1. Rustic Modern - There is an opportunity for architects, designers and builders to embrace and promote rustic modern home designs.
2. Repurposed Structures - As more rustic buildings get transformed into modern homes and work spaces, repurposing of old structures presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in architecture and design.
3. Natural Materials - With the rise of modern farmhouse reconstructions, there is an opportunity for businesses that deal in natural materials such as wood and stone to showcase their products and innovation capabilities.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture & Design - As rustic modern designs are expected to gain more popularity in the coming years, there is an opportunity for architecture and design firms to specialize and develop expertise in this niche area.
2. Real Estate & Property Management - There is an opportunity for real estate developers and property management firms to invest in repurposing old structures and converting them into modern living and work spaces.
3. Home Décor & Furnishings - As rustic modern homes begin to take over, there is an opportunity for businesses specializing in home décor and furnishings to cater to this trend and create products that fit the style and aesthetic of this niche market.
