Tranquil Oceanic Retreats

The Oceanique Villas Provide Privacy and Relaxation

— June 19, 2014 — World
Words don't do the Oceanique Villas by MM Architects justice; the beautiful sanctuary is found on the coastal holiday spot of Mui Ne, which is located on Vietnam's south east coast.

The architects designed two three-bedroom and one four-bedroom villa, situated on a plot of land that was raised by 1.8 meters to ensure not only privacy, but a spectacular seafront view that is uncommon for residential projects in the area. The elevated plot also helps to prevent land erosion. The semi-detached structures maximize for space, allowing the surrounding landscape to act as a buffer, protecting the occupants from the noise of the busy areas.

The villas also boast an open-concept kitchen, dining and living area, a patio that allows for natural ventilation within the home and master bedrooms that look out towards infinity pool. Each bathroom is quipped with a private garden and jacuzzi, optimizing for natural light and ventilation.
Trend Themes
1. Coastal Vacation Rentals - Businesses can disrupt the traditional hospitality industry by creating unique, elevated coastal vacation rentals that offer privacy and spectacular views.
2. Sustainable Architecture - Opportunities exist for architects and builders to focus on sustainable architecture, like the Oceanique Villas, that not only offer luxury but also help prevent land erosion.
3. Open-concept Living Spaces - Architects and interior designers have the opportunity to create more open-concept living spaces for residential buildings inspired by the Oceanique Villas that provide natural lighting and ventilation.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - The hospitality industry has an opportunity to create a new segment of vacation rentals that offer unique and elevated experiences for travelers seeking privacy and coastal views.
2. Architecture and Design - Architects and interior designers can focus on sustainable, open-concept designs that offer luxury, functionality and efficient use of space.
3. Real Estate - Real estate developers can create unique, luxury homes that focus on sustainable architecture, open-concept living spaces, and appealing coastal views.
