Curvaceous Shore Homes

The Victor Lusquiños ‘Olas!’ Beach House Offers Unparallel

— September 12, 2012 — Art & Design
With only one wall per floor, the Victor Lusquinos Olas! beach house is anything but private. Appropriately titled 'Olas!,' the house offers unobstructed beach views that also allow outsiders to have a full view of the inside, making this open-concept condo ideal for those who do not shy away from their neighbors.

From the back, the smooth white curvature of the structure gives the exterior the appearance of a shell; appropriate for its location on the shore-front. Along with the modern minimalist furniture, the interior features a large Joan Miro Mural on the second story which mirrors and interprets the ocean it faces.

The ocean-inspired architecture of the Victor Lusquinos Olas! beach house invites its inhabitants to take part of their surroundings.

2. Ocean-inspired Architecture - Disruptive innovation opportunity for architects and designers creating sustainable, eco-friendly homes that are seamlessly integrated with the environment.
3. Minimalist Design with Large-scale Art - Disruptive innovation opportunity for interior designers creating unique spaces that balance simplicity with a bold artistic statement.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate - As concepts of privacy and individual living space shift, real estate developers will need to create innovative and unconventional living environments to attract buyers.
2. Architecture and Design - As the demand for sustainable and eco-friendly homes increases, architects and designers will need to create structures that are seamlessly integrated with the environment rather than disrupting it.
3. Interior Design - With the growing trend of minimalism, interior designers will have to differentiate themselves by incorporating large-scale art that exudes mood and ambiance.
