# Hidden Heater Houses This Baraban Design Studio Home Hides Its Central Column with a Fireplace By Corinne Guirgis | Published 2015-06-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baraban-design-studio-home References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2015/6/this-designer-home-disguises-its-central-column-as-a-fireplace) & [baraban-plus](http://baraban-plus.com/) Swanky, loungelike interiors are nothing new in a Baraban Design Studio Home, but this Kiev apartment is more than just panoramic views, grassy rugs and masculine wood accents. The centerpiece of this innovative architectural wonder is its [visible central columns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-with-one-pillar), which in addition to supporting the home's structure, doubles as a fireplace. While columns can often serve as uninviting blocks for guests and inhabitants, the fireplace has a unique gravitational pull amidst its comfortable surroundings. Other character pieces hidden throughout the Baraban Design Studio Home include the glass firework chandeliers, an acrylic yellow bar, and a white-clad bathroom with a playful grassland theme. Seemingly inspired by a villain's layer, the statement home is not without its [secret corners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stealth-1), and proves that a true architectural wonder brings outside the box thinking inside the box. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hidden-heater Houses:** The innovative use of central columns as fireplaces in Baraban Design Studio Homes presents an opportunity for disruption in architectural design. - **Grassy Rugs:** The incorporation of grassy rugs in Baraban Design Studio Homes creates a unique and playful interior design aesthetic, offering potential for disruption in the home decor industry. - **Glass Firework Chandeliers:** The use of glass firework chandeliers as character pieces in Baraban Design Studio Homes offers an opportunity for disruptive innovation in lighting and home decor sectors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** The incorporation of central columns as fireplaces presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the architectural industry. - **Interior Design:** The use of grassy rugs and character pieces like glass firework chandeliers create disruption in interior design trends. - **Lighting:** The unique glass firework chandeliers in Baraban Design Studio Homes create potential for disruptive innovation in the lighting industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Cylindrical Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecosmart-fire-pillar-3t.md) - [Communal Fireplace Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hearth-coffee-table.md) - [Slick Modern Holographic Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holographic-fireplace.md) - [Cooking-Friendly Outdoor Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/regg-surprise.md) - [Industrial-Inspired Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glassbrick-apartment.md) - [Immersive Artful Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oveneck-33.md) - [Bathroom-Centric Dubai Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bone-studio.md) - [Sculptural Mezzanine Retro Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mnard-dworkind-1.md) - [Surreal Kyiv Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apartment-with-a-lizard.md)
