# Whimsical Industrial Residences Apartment BP Boasts a Creative and Open Concept Interior By Jana Pijak | Published 2016-09-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apartment-bp References: [archiscene.net](http://www.archiscene.net/apartments/apartment-bp-superlimao-studio/) & [superlimao.br](http://www.superlimao.com.br/) Superlimão Studio's 'Apartment BP' project is an [industrial residence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-casa-mrgt) that is simultaneously creative and comfortable in its look and feel. While most industrial interiors can feature a cold and sterile design aesthetic, this apartment opposes this idea in exchange for oversized seating, a [communal dining area](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/primrose-apartment) and partitions that are equal parts eye-catching and functional. Located in the heart of [São Paulo, Brazil](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jf-residence), Apartment BP is a communal and welcoming residence that fuses industrial finishes with furniture that is comfortable and accessories that are multifunctional -- whether used for dining or entertaining or as the staples of an in-house creative studio. This contemporary apartment fuses multiple design aesthetics to create a bold space that is practical and modular without losing its sense of whimsy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 76% | 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Whimsical Industrial Design:** There is an opportunity for design firms to create playful and comfortable spaces within traditionally sterile industrial environments. - **Multifunctional Accessories:** Designers can capitalize on the desire for furniture and accessories that serve multiple purposes in small living spaces. - **Creative Communal Spaces:** There is a growing demand for apartment complexes and housing communities that offer areas for socialization and creative collaboration. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Interior design firms and furniture manufacturers can implement creative solutions and multifunctional designs that cater to smaller living spaces. - **Real Estate Development:** Developers can incorporate whimsical and communal design concepts into new and existing apartment complexes, attracting prospective tenants with a unique living experience. - **Co-working Spaces:** Co-working spaces can leverage the trend towards creative collaboration by offering unique communal areas and versatile furniture options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Light-Inviting Renovated Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/copan-apartment.md) - [Industrial-Inspired Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glassbrick-apartment.md) - [Brutalist Minimal Apartment Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fj-apartment.md) - [Vividly Designed Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pascali-semerdjian-arquitetos-1.md) - [Compact Duplex Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sbc-apartment.md) - [Converted Industrial Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1960s-warehouse.md) - [Eclectic Paris Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-asa.md) - [Texture-Varying Apartment Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-6.md) - [Brutalist-Inspired Apartment Redesigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-est.md)
