The previous structure that was built by Sp10 Studio has now been transformed and re-imagined as an underground workplace that takes inspiration from [industrial materials and dark chromatic tones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glassbrick-apartment). The exterior of the workplace features a long glass panel that peers into the interior space. The inner space is completely coated with black paint, with a metal wall that splits the space in two. While one side of the workspace features a small kitchen, while the other side is the actual place for workers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 81% | 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) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Industrial-inspired Workspaces:** Opportunity for architects and designers to create innovative workspaces that take inspiration from industrial materials and dark chromatic tones. - **Underground Office Spaces:** Opportunity to transform previously underutilized spaces into unique and inspiring work environments. - **Glass-walled Offices:** Opportunity to use long glass panels as a design feature for showcasing the interior of an office and inviting natural light. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture and Design:** An opportunity to apply creative and innovative design techniques to transform spaces and create unique work environments. - **Real Estate:** An opportunity to incorporate unique and inspiring office spaces into new and existing real estate developments. - **Construction:** An opportunity to tackle large and unique construction projects such as transforming underground spaces into functional offices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Farm-Inspired Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-barn-1.md) - [Light-Filled Garden Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-westwood.md) - [Transformed Minimal Artist Residency](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quadrodesign.md) - [Contrasting Workspace Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workspace-interior.md) - [Illuminated Cave-Like Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/javier-senosiain-arquitectos.md) - [Playfully Vibrant Studio Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colgio-salesiano.md) - [Reconfigured Calm City Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latelier.md) - [Bright Colorful Workshop Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-sm.md) - [Ultra-Playful Studio Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-workspace.md)
