Modernist Polygon Abodes

The Varatojo House by Atelier Data Embraces Simplistic Design Ideals

— June 9, 2014 — Art & Design
The Varatojo House by Lisbon-based design studio Atelier Data embraces simplistic design ideals. Sitting atop a hill, this angular abode overlooks the city of Torres Vedras, Portugal.

The polygonal home gained its shape from its irregular plot that served as a blueprint for its exterior shell. When designing the structure, Lisbon's Atelier Data "opted for the construction of a limit, a kind of line that gradually takes shape and thickness to accommodate the housing program."

The Varatojo House is made up of three storeys and features common areas that include a kitchen, living room and dining room on its ground level that also includes an outdoor pool.

Moreover, the home's other storeys house guest and children's rooms, a play/study area and master bedrooms with a large balcony addition.
Trend Themes
1. Polygonal Architecture - There is an opportunity for architects and designers to explore polygonal structures and incorporate them into their designs, creating unique and visually striking buildings.
2. Simplistic Design - The trend towards simplistic design offers opportunities for interior designers and furniture manufacturers to create minimalist and functional spaces and furniture pieces that align with this aesthetic.
3. Integration of Outdoor Spaces - There is potential for landscape architects and outdoor furniture manufacturers to create designs that seamlessly integrate outdoor spaces with the main structure, providing a harmonious connection between indoor and outdoor living.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects can leverage the trend of polygonal architecture to create innovative and visually stunning buildings that stand out in the market.
2. Interior Design - Interior designers can capitalize on the trend of simplistic design by creating minimalist and functional spaces that appeal to consumers seeking simplicity and minimalism in their homes.
3. Landscape Architecture - Landscape architects can explore the trend of integrating outdoor spaces with the main structure, allowing for the creation of cohesive and immersive outdoor living experiences.
