# Airy French Abodes This Open Space Home Offers Terrific Views By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-07-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-space-home References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/2014/07/21/maison-a3-by-vincent-coste/) & [vincentcoste](http://www.vincentcoste.com/) Vincent Coste has designed the [Maison](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alternative-to-traditional-galleries) A3, an [open-space home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modus-architect) located on a triangular site in Toulon, France. The building is optimally positioned so that the home owners can enjoy unparalleled views of the sunrise (if you're ambitious) and sunset (a more feasible hour to enjoy the surrounding views of the bay of Sanary). The architects kept the demarcation between the interior and exterior spaces minimal, opting for a living room that opens out towards the [central terrace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-tres-patis). The architects retained the owner's privacy by keeping the bedrooms oriented towards the entrance facade and interior garden. The terracotta facade of the home, which was custom-designed, offers a warm contrast to the white walls of the interior. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Open-space Homes:** Opportunities for designing homes that blur the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. - **Optimal Positioning:** Exploring ways to maximize the views and natural lighting in architectural designs. - **Custom-designed Facades:** Innovations in creating unique and visually appealing exteriors for residential buildings. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Design:** Opportunities for architects to create versatile and visually striking living spaces. - **Real Estate:** Investments in properties that offer optimized views and innovative architectural features. - **Materials and Construction:** Demand for custom-designed facades and innovative building materials for residential projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Boxy Shaped Beach Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roman-izquierdo-bouldstridge.md) - [Meadow-Overlooking Sleek Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studioac-1.md) - [Cliffside Minimalist Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aip-azia-villa.md) - [Textured Local Stone Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-atrium-house.md) - [Coastal Island Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasparakisfriel.md) - [Beach-Overlooking Picturesque Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-a.md) - [Monolithic Sleek Summer Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollerup-atrium.md) - [Discrete Lakeside Modern Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palissade.md) - [Renovated Parisian Flats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hauvette-madani.md)
