{"id":2243,"count":27,"description":"Buying a California-style home with Espaces Atypiques\r\nThe American West Coast isn\u2019t the only place you\u2019ll find California-style homes, because the French coast also hides treasures to make the Sun Belt pale in comparison.\r\nModern California-style homes\r\nYou might think you\u2019re at Big Sur, but you\u2019re actually on the French Riviera. California-style homes certainly bring the sun into the lives of their owners. It was in the 1950s that the first villas in this avant-garde style made their appearance with a handful of now iconic houses: Richard Neutra's Kaufmann House of 1946, the Frank Sinatra House of 1947 and the Segel House of 1979 in Malibu.\r\n\r\n\r\nFrequently built in the hills on the edge of major Californian cities, including Los Angeles and Palm Springs, this style of West Coast home can be found in France in the hills above Cannes, along the French Riviera and in Aix-en-Provence, Marseille and Toulon. French architect Jean Prouv\u00e9\u2019s house in Nancy is a perfect example of these homes that reach to the sky to offer incredible lofty views over the landscape below, but which remain rare and outstanding properties.\r\nPrestigious architecture\r\nIt's hard to resist the temptations of California-style homes, with their unobstructed views, roof terraces, minimalist design and inside\/outside continuity between house and garden. The houses designed for California in the post-war years freed themselves from a number of domestic constraints by introducing open-plan spaces, open kitchens, sliding doors and extensive glazing for maximum natural daylight. They blurred the boundary between indoors and outdoors. They provided the freedom to work on the terrace or eat breakfast in the living room... Often single storey, these geometric houses reinvent our desire to furnish, stroll around and live our lives. They introduce a new perspective on investing in bricks and mortar.\r\n\r\n","link":"https:\/\/www.espaces-atypiques.com\/en\/hashtag\/californian-house-en\/","name":"Californian house","slug":"californian-house-en","taxonomy":"hashtag","parent":12110,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.espaces-atypiques.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/criteres\/2243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.espaces-atypiques.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/criteres"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.espaces-atypiques.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/hashtag"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.espaces-atypiques.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/criteres\/12110"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.espaces-atypiques.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ventes?criteres=2243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
