The home originally presented a decayed and worn down-facade, with multiple subdivided rooms. By preserving the original brickwork and beams, the space now has a [loft-like feel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-casa-mrgt) with new hardwood flooring, sleek concrete pieces and a white color scheme. The design team added a [modular wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-anton-ii) to the center of the apartment that can divide the kitchen and living space, or be left open to create a flowing floor plan. By adding high-end finishes and unique design features, Adrian Elizalde Architecture created a one-of-a-kind space that is a perfect mix of classic Barcelona style and modern design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Modular Living Spaces:** The use of modular walls and flexible layouts in home design allows for customizable and adaptable living spaces. - **Preservation and Renovation:** There is a growing trend towards preserving and renovating old buildings to create unique and stylish living spaces. - **Luxury Loft Design:** The incorporation of high-end finishes and unique design features in loft renovations creates luxurious and visually appealing living environments. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture and Interior Design:** The architecture and interior design industries have an opportunity to offer innovative solutions for modular living spaces and loft renovations. - **Construction and Renovation:** The construction and renovation industries can take advantage of the trend towards preserving and renovating old buildings by providing specialized services and materials. - **Furniture and Decor:** The furniture and decor industry can offer unique and high-end products to cater to the demand for luxury loft design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Remodelled Denim-Detailed Modern Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microloft.md) - [Renovated Compact Loft Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vessel-project.md) - [Tiled Refurbished Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parramon-tahull.md) - [Golden Divider Apartment Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ral-snchez.md) - [Gridded Urban Apartment Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-carboneria.md) - [Barcelona Apartment Renovation Projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isern-serra.md) - [Textile-Transformed Parisian Lofts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isabelle-heilmann.md) - [Compact Madrid Residences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burr-studio-1.md) - [Vibrant Tonal Spanish Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colombo-and-serboli-architecture-1.md)
