Wood-Roofed Residences

ALON House by AABE is Serene and Contemporary

— May 15, 2014 — Art & Design
The ALON House by AABE (Atelier d’Architecture Bruno Erpicum & Partners) is a contemporary residence that features a unique roof and ceiling. The two happen to blend into each other to create a seamless architectural aesthetic that runs throughout the entire design. By bringing the outdoors indoors in a design perspective rather than a decorative one, it shows people that such possibilities are endless.

Located in France, the ALON House by AABE also incorporates floor-to-ceiling windows that stretch around the entire perimeter of the home. This allows an undistorted view of the French coast. Serene and modern, the design studio writes, "A tile-covered ceiling salutes the spirit of Provençal homes. Below, only wood and concrete form the building. Beyond any codes, the natural, raw materials stand eternal."
Trend Themes
1. Seamless Architectural Aesthetic - Exploring innovative ways to blend different architectural elements to create a cohesive and visually appealing design.
2. Bringing Outdoors Indoors - Leveraging design perspectives to seamlessly integrate outdoor elements into indoor spaces, blurring the boundaries between nature and architecture.
3. Natural, Raw Materials - Embracing the use of organic and sustainable materials, like wood and concrete, to create environmentally-friendly and aesthetically pleasing structures.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture and Design - Opportunity for architects and designers to experiment with innovative techniques and materials to create unique and visually striking buildings.
2. Construction and Real Estate - Potential for construction companies and real estate developers to incorporate nature-inspired design elements and materials into residential and commercial projects.
3. Sustainable Living - Growing interest in sustainable living practices opens up possibilities for incorporating natural materials and biophilic design concepts into residential and commercial spaces.
