Geometric Industrial Apartments

This Surreal Sculptural Apartment Used to Be a Butter Factory

— April 4, 2014 — Art & Design
Looking at the beautiful design lines of this super modern and sculptural apartment, you would never think that this space used to be a butter factory.

The magical transformation turned the dark and dingy factory setup into a spiraling and contemporary haven for its owners in West Melbourne, Australia.
This sculptural apartment is so artsy and curvaceous in its architectural lines that it almost looks like a modern art gallery.

Designed by creative architecture firm Adrian Amore Architects, the haunting and intriguing apartment is white-washed in its entirety, leaving all the flair to the architectural twists reminiscent from the factory days and the sleek minimalist furniture.

The house may seem a little cold because of its harsh lines, but it makes for a stunningly surreal abode full of little tricks that give off a geometric vibe.
Trend Themes
1. Sculptural Living Spaces - The trend towards using artful, unusual design elements and sculptural forms is growing in popularity and offers innovation in architectural design.
2. Industrial Design Revival - The trend towards re-purposing industrial spaces and utilizing their unique, striking features in residential and commercial design presents opportunities for innovation in urban revitalization.
3. Minimalist Furniture - The trend towards incorporating sleek, minimalist furniture offers innovation in functionality and design, particularly in small living spaces like apartments and tiny homes.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Innovative architectural firms that focus on mixed-use spaces and re-purposing industrial spaces could gain traction in the growing trend of creating sculptural, industrial living spaces.
2. Urban Development - Innovative urban development companies that focus on repurposing older, industrial buildings could capitalize on the trend of bringing new life to forgotten structures through unique design elements and functionality.
3. Furniture Design - Innovative furniture designers who focus on creating sleek, space-efficient minimalist furniture could find opportunities in the trend of designing for small living spaces.
