# Church-Like Co-Working Spaces Calowiz & Co.'s New Interior Design is Inspired by Gothic Churches By Joey Haar | Published 2017-12-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calowiz-co References: [archdaily](https://www.archdaily.com/884454/calowiz-and-co-roarcrenew) Churches have long stood as solemn places for quiet focus and contemplation, so the new interior design for Calowiz & Co.'s [co-working space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apex) makes it a great spot for getting down to business. The space features vaulted ceilings, flying buttresses, and long rows inspired by [Gothic churches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hjvangen-church), giving it a sense of reverence that's convenient for working in public. The building that houses Calowiz & Co. was originally constructed in 1898 from natural stones and red brick, and that historic backing is part of the impetus behind the church theme. However, the interior is certainly a modern take on Gothic style. It's [entirely covered in concrete](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/narac-church), and it eschews sharp lines in favor of gentle curves in order to make the entire interior more calming. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Church-inspired Co-working Spaces:** Integrating church-inspired elements into co-working spaces can offer a unique and calming atmosphere for productivity. - **Historical Building Renovations:** Renovating historical buildings to be used as modern offices can offer a sense of charm and interest to clients and employees. - **Modern Gothic Design:** Creating modern designs inspired by Gothic architecture can offer a contemporary twist on traditional themes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Real Estate:** Real estate companies can take advantage of the trend toward using historical buildings for modern office space. - **Interior Design:** Interior design firms can capitalize on the demand for unique and calming workspaces by offering church-inspired elements and modern Gothic design. - **Co-working Space Management:** Co-working space management companies can incorporate unique design elements like church-inspired details to give their spaces a competitive edge. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rock-Climbing Work Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hidden-climbing-gym.md) - [Rerfeshed Historic Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloisters-interiors.md) - [Art Gallery-Inspired Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maniera.md) - [Chic Monochrome Co-Working Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monochrome-coworking-space.md) - [Cohesive Modern Workspace Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unorthodox-designs.md) - [Farm-Inspired Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-barn-1.md) - [Contrasting Workspace Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workspace-interior.md) - [Light-Controlled Co-Working Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-malin-1.md) - [Modern London Co-Working Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apex.md)
