# Post-Party Home Photography The Garden Flat by Dank Architectes is Photographed Before and After By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2013-12-12 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-flat References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2013/12/01/garden-flat-lyon-dank-architectes/) & [dankarchitectes](http://dankarchitectes.com/portfolio/amou-duplex-a-saint-foy-les-lyon/) Dank Architectes renovated a 160-square-foot garden flat in Lyon into an [open-concept apartment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/no-ordinary-house), titled 'Project Amou.' The architects tore down several partitions on the ground floor to optimize for space and moved a bedroom to the upper level. The laundry room and closet are contained in a separate volume, with bookshelves and a study area built into the external walls. The home boasts double-height living and dining rooms as well as [sliding glass doors for natural light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amsterdam-zuid). But perhaps the most novel concept of the home was the way the architects chose to present it, staging it took look as though a raging party had taken place the night before. "Our idea was to try to make the architectural photos more alive by making the place look a little messier, contrasting with the [minimalist aspects of the architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-cocoon) we designed," explained one architect. Indeed, the photos capture a pulsating energy of a home well-lived in. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Staged Home Photography:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize staged home photography to create dynamic and engaging visuals for real estate marketing. - **Open-concept Living:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential of open-concept living as a design trend in residential and commercial spaces. - **Optimized Space Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative strategies for maximizing space efficiency in architectural design projects. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Real Estate:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate staged home photography techniques to enhance property listings and attract potential buyers. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace the concept of open-concept living to create versatile and visually appealing interior spaces. - **Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implement optimized space design solutions to address the increasing demand for functional yet aesthetically pleasing structures. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Industrial-Inspired Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glassbrick-apartment.md) - [Workshop-Transformed Dynamic Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apartment-v.md) - [Paris Stable-Transformed Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garibaldi.md) - [Bright Urban Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-64.md) - [Playful Apartment Makeovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onda-apartment.md) - [Eclectic Paris Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-asa.md) - [Artful Updated 70s Apartment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-curators-apartment.md) - [Artist Apartment Conversions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alan-prekop-studio.md) - [Nostalgic 70s-Inspired Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-special-studio.md)
