# Trusting Open-Concept Architecture Casa Seta by Martin Dulanto is Open to the Public By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-05-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-seta References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2014/05/13/casa-seta-by-martin-dulanto-architect/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/MartinDulantoArquitecto) While many have heard the idea of "[open-concept architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hogar-alemn)," Martin Dulanto takes this to the next level by allowing the living area of the Casa Seta House spill out into the public domain. The house is [geometric and modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/binocular-house), and in the photos it appears as if there aren't any walls or windows to block off the living room from the outside world. Considering the place is [located in Peru](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lima-house), the owners don't have to worry too much about cold weather. In fact, an open concept is probably much welcome to encourage a breeze through the house. Clearly the neighbourhood is quite trusting, as this open concept takes the idea to a whole new realm of trusting. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Public Open-concept Architecture:** Architects can create more spaces that are not only open to the public but also incorporate public spaces as part of its design, transforming traditional architecture into a more inclusive space. - **Blurring Boundaries:** Designers can challenge themselves to create spaces with fewer physical barriers, bringing indoor and outdoor spaces together to create a more seamless integration of living space. - **Community Living:** The trend for open-concept spaces can foster a sense of community living, inspiring architects and designers to create more shared living spaces, where barriers between neighbors are minimal. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** Open-concept architecture is a disruptive innovation opportunity for the architecture industry as they can completely reimagine traditional architecture to create more inclusive spaces that blur the boundary between public and private areas. - **Real Estate:** Open-concept architecture can revolutionize the real estate industry as it opens up the possibility for more unconventional housing solutions such as co-living spaces, which cater to a more communal living style. - **Interior Design:** Open-concept architecture provides interior designers with a new set of challenges and opportunities to create unique and modern living spaces that maximize natural lighting and indoor-outdoor living synergy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Curvaceous Privacy Wall Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kwk-promes-open-house.md) - [High Concrete Walled Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cesar-mancillas.md) - [Privacy Enhanced Minimal Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-open-house-1.md) - [Pavilion-Style Art Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galeria-house.md) - [Park-Nestled Concrete Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-serra.md) - [Nature-Leveraging Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-caoba.md) - [Chic Curved Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curved-house1.md) - [Reflective Artful Calming Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-gesso.md) - [Monolithic Custom Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-catedral.md)
