Palatial White Mansions

This French Estate Features a Simple Design Plan

— September 15, 2014 — Art & Design
Agency Brengues Le Pavec have designed the 'Maison ART,' a French estate located in Saint Clément de Rivière.

The architects chose to accentuate the home's beautiful location, as well as the natural declination of the site. More specifically, the architects take on a "less is more" approach with the design, allowing the emphasis to be put on the environment. Though understated, the home continues to be sophisticated and luxurious.

The site's slope is accommodated by arranging the house on two very specifically oriented levels. Wide terraces allow for views of the surrounding hills, as well as the Montferrier historical center in the distance. The spaces between the terraces have been decorated with vegetation; the plant life is expressed more eloquently with the introduction of glazed passages, which mediate the green transition.
Trend Themes
1. Simple Design - Disruptive innovation opportunities can arise from applying minimalistic and understated design principles to various industries, allowing the focus to be on the product or service.
2. Emphasizing Environment - By prioritizing the beauty of the surrounding landscape and incorporating it into the design, industries can explore how to create products or services that complement and enhance their natural surroundings.
3. Integration of Glazed Passages - Industries can explore the potential of incorporating glazed passages or structures to seamlessly transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating unique and immersive experiences for their customers.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture and Interior Design - Disruptive innovation opportunities exist within the architecture and interior design industries by adopting a simple and minimalistic design approach that prioritizes the surrounding environment.
2. Hospitality and Tourism - The hospitality and tourism industries can capitalize on the trend of emphasizing the environment by creating accommodations and experiences that blend harmoniously with the natural landscape.
3. Landscape and Garden Design - In the field of landscape and garden design, there is potential for disruption by integrating glazed passages or structures that facilitate seamless transitions between different outdoor spaces.
