"Strong materiality provides an antidote to [suburban blandness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jean-verville) in the studio's latest design that remixes a linear building concept." The Orange of Ris is located in a small municipality on the south eastern edge of Paris and is a neighbourhood filled with outdated, 70s era architecture. With his redesign, Maison Edouard François' Edouard François transformed this building tower using an industrial and graphically bold material. His materials of choice were [orange terracotta tiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colien-house) that give this [residential structure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immeuble-molitor) an unexpected texture while making a lasting visual impact on the neighbourhood's inhabitants. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## 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 - **Terracotta Revival:** The use of orange terracotta tiles in architectural design provides a unique and visually striking element, revitalizing outdated structures. - **Suburban Renaissance:** Revamping aging suburban architecture with bold and innovative design concepts is a growing trend, transforming bland structures into visually appealing landmarks. - **Industrial Materiality:** The incorporation of industrial materials in architectural projects offers a disruptive innovation opportunity to create unique and visually engaging buildings. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** Architects and designers have the opportunity to revitalize suburban structures with innovative materials and design concepts, creating visually appealing and functional spaces. - **Construction:** The use of bold and unconventional materials in construction projects opens up new possibilities for architects, contractors, and developers to create distinctive and appealing structures. - **Urban Planning:** City planners and urban developers can explore the revitalization of suburban areas by incorporating bold design elements and materials to transform outdated architecture into vibrant communities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Burnt Orange Walled Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-magarola.md) - [Asian Material Suburban Residents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-ridge-house.md) - [Red Concrete-Defined Home Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-delalande-tabourin.md) - [Housing Block Defensive Facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bureau-des-mesarchitecture.md) - [Ultra-Colorful High-Density Residential Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdensity-residential-design.md) - [Vibrantly Designed Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-perron.md) - [Preserved Townhome Concrete Facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rieder.md) - [Stone-Clad Commercial Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/local-architecture-network.md) - [Textured Mid-Century Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highland-park-residence.md)
