Overseen by Munich-based architecture company IFUB, this office is situated in a [converted chocolate factory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tengbom). The most distinctive feature of this building has to do with the lobby and office section. These distinct areas are separated by a wall that is embedded with patterned cupboards, something that both helps to save space and also offers an eye-catching visual aesthetic. This area of the building is also equipped with a toilet and kitchen. The inclusion of hidden cupboards in this Berlin office building's partition walls is just one of many features that makes this a great example of [restorative architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloisters-interiors) that is both functional and visually appealing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 14% | 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) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hidden Cupboard Walls:** Incorporating hidden cupboards into office walls creates a space-saving and visually appealing design. - **Restorative Architecture:** The use of hidden cupboards in this renovated office exemplifies the trend of functional and visually appealing architectural designs. - **Integrated Multipurpose Spaces:** Combining office, toilet, and kitchen spaces within a single area demonstrates the trend towards integrated and efficient work environments. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Architects can explore incorporating hidden cupboards into their designs to optimize space and enhance aesthetics. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can leverage the trend of hidden cupboard walls to create innovative storage solutions that blend seamlessly with the overall design. - **Office Furniture:** The trend of integrated multipurpose spaces opens up opportunities for office furniture companies to create versatile and space-saving solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Warm Office Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinzo-architekten.md) - [Vibrantly Designed Confectionary Office](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ritter-sport-schokozentrale.md) - [Cabinet-Style Kitchen Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/next125-pocket-system.md) - [Moveable Wooden Office Facades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acvcscmetea.md) - [Demountable Wooden Retail Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/present-correct1.md) - [Comfort-Enhancing Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relaxound.md) - [People-Pleasing Office Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cubicle-system.md) - [Quirky Solo Office Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/work-capsules.md) - [Creative Floor Conversions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banda-agency.md)
