Upgraded French Villas

This Heritage Villa is Getting a Modern Renovation

— August 28, 2015 — Art & Design
French Heritage villa, 'Le Trident' is getting a modernized makeover to contrast its white facade. The house was designed by architect Barry Dierks between 1925 and 1950 and is located along the coast of the beautiful French Riviera. Since his death, the villa was used as a rental property until 2011 when the house had a new owner. Studio 4a Architekten took on a project to restore the historic space and to modernize its interior.

The renovation has since finished and its contemporary design bares a drastic contrast to its rustic exterior. The villa keeps its charm and elegance with a much-improved living space while its white exterior is left untouched.

Some key features in the property include a revitalized pool that overlooks an ocean view as well as a round, hanging fireplace that acts as a focal point in the middle of the living room.
Trend Themes
1. Modernized Villa Renovations - There is a growing trend of renovating heritage villas to incorporate contemporary design elements, creating a harmonious blend of old and new.
2. Contrasting Interior and Exterior Design - An emerging trend in architecture is to create a stark contrast between the rustic, traditional exterior of a building and a sleek, modern interior.
3. Renovations on Rental Properties - There is a rising trend of purchasing rental properties with historical significance and renovating them to attract a modern clientele.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture and Design - Architecture and design firms have the opportunity to specialize in the renovation and modernization of heritage properties, meeting the demand for a harmonious blend of old and new aesthetics.
2. Real Estate - Real estate developers and investors can capitalize on the market for historical rental properties by acquiring and renovating them to appeal to contemporary tastes while maintaining their unique charm.
3. Hospitality and Tourism - The hospitality industry can benefit from the trend of renovating heritage properties, as these unique accommodations can attract tourists seeking a blend of historical charm and modern comfort.
