# Renovated Urban Cottages The 430 House by D’Arcy Jones Architecture Updates an 80s Residence By Jana Pijak | Published 2014-11-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/430-house References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/vote/430-house-by-darcy-jones-architecture/) & [darcyjones](http://www.darcyjones.com/) D’Arcy Jones Architecture's 430 House project revamps an Vancouver home from the 80s. Creating an urban cottage, the design studio transformed an outdated residence into an interior that is both contemporary and cozy in its look. Clean and crisp finishes can be found throughout 430 House and include natural wood and stone materials. This abode boasts an abundance of linear elements and embodies a simple aesthetic. Though minimalist in its design, this Vancouver home doesn't lose its sense of coziness and comfort. The home's warm wood materials create a cozy and serene environment for its inhabitants while its open concept and large windows result in an abundance of natural light within every corner of the renovated home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Urban Cottage Revival:** Opportunity for architects and designers to renovate 80s-era homes into contemporary, cozy urban cottages. - **Linear Minimalism:** Opportunity for builders and homeowners to embrace clean, crisp finishes and linear elements in their design aesthetic. - **Natural Material Exploration:** Opportunity for material suppliers and designers to explore new ways to incorporate wood and stone materials for modern-day living. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Opportunity for architects to revitalize 80s-era homes into modern, cozy urban cottages. - **Construction:** Opportunity for builders to embrace the clean, crisp finishes and linear elements used in the revamped 430 House. - **Interior Design:** Opportunity for designers to create cozy, serene environments by incorporating warm wood materials and maximizing natural light. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mid-Century Renovated Canadian Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erica-colpitts.md) - [Charming Home Renovation Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/works-office.md) - [Minimalist Townhouse Renos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/townhouse-vi.md) - [Minimalist London Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/158-purley-downs-road.md) - [Compact Calming Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-sheltered-space.md) - [Reimagined Postmodern Residence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alder-house.md) - [Coastal Mid-Century Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-anglesea.md) - [Renewed Heritage Estates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kilmory-house.md) - [Artfully Inspired Home Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/north-drive-house.md)
