The typical approach to constructing the majority of buildings is to focus on containment. The Casa Faustino, however, manages to offer shelter and privacy without this closed-off and inward emphasis; it visibly appears to expand outwards in all directions.

This project by Didier Faustino of Mésarchitectures is one of 12 set for a neighborhood of dream homes in a [picturesque Spanish landscape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-mila). Each one is completely different -- you wouldn't expect another to resemble such a unique form.

The massing of the Casa Faustino comprises enormous [crystalline geometries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutal-honesty) that jut out from the open center of the dwelling. The windowed ends let in plenty of light during the day, and project it outwards at night as a built and inhabitable Big Bang.
