# Cubic Beachside Abodes This Modern Beach House is Both Contemporary and Warm By Farida Helmy | Published 2014-04-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-beach-house References: [freshome](http://freshome.com/2014/04/13/box-like-beach-house-near-lima-peru-martin-dulanto-arquitecto/) & [facebook](https://www.facebook.com/MartinDulantoArquitecto) This unique looking modern beach house looks very different than what traditional beach houses have come to be stereotyped as. The 'P12 House' was designed by Martin Dulanto Arquitecto and is special because of its box-like structure and geometric cube design. Located close to Lima, Peru, this two-storey modern beach house was created in a way so the residents inside the villa can be connected to the stunning outdoors at all times. Using cube-like rectangular-shaped blocks, the [oceanside retreat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campos-studio) uses these "cubes" to divide the home up -- the biggest cube contains the living room. By removing unnecessary walls, this interesting architectural structure makes sure the mesmerizing views of the [azure blue water](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diachok-architects), golden sand beaches and lush green park surrounding the house are unobstructed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Geometric Cube Design:** This trend of using geometric cube design in architectural structures presents opportunities for disrupting the traditional beach house design. - **Indoor-outdoor Connection:** The trend of creating spaces that connect residents to the outdoors at all times opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in beach house design. - **Open Concept Living:** The trend of removing unnecessary walls in architectural structures allows for unobstructed views and reimagining traditional living spaces. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** This trend of geometric cube design in beach house architecture presents an opportunity for architects to create innovative and visually striking structures. - **Real Estate Development:** The trend of creating indoor-outdoor connectivity in beach houses offers opportunities for real estate developers to meet the demand for modern and unique living spaces. - **Interior Design:** The trend of open concept living in beach houses provides interior designers with the chance to create functional and stylish spaces that maximize natural light and views. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Boxy Shaped Beach Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roman-izquierdo-bouldstridge.md) - [Trapezoidal Coastal Beach Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreal-house.md) - [Minimalist Beach House Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1980s-beach-house.md) - [Sustainable Cubic Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appels-architekten.md) - [Off-Grid Oceanside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campos-studio.md) - [Modern Architectural Seaside Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strandhouse.md) - [Concrete Courtyard Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lima-house.md) - [Coastal Timber Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-guaec-project.md) - [Concrete Coastal Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lima-house.md)
