# Minimalist Onyx Warehouses Moarqs' Structure is Simple, Functional and Largely Monotonous By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-05-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-warehouse References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2018/04/19/minimalist-black-caseros-depot-warehouse-moarqs-triangular-site-outside-buenos-aires/) & [moarqs](http://www.moarqs.com/portfolio/caseros-depot/) Argentinian architecture firm Moarqs creates "a stark and monotonous" minimalist warehouse in a tight and tricky site in Buenos Aires. The structure measures 1,542 square feet and is the epitome of bare design. The firm utilized [laminated steel that was painted black](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ferrocarril-de-cuernavaca-780) before assembly. The Caseros Depot enjoys minimal use of windows, has no embellishments or attempted decorations, creating a structure that is exclusively made function-forward. The minimalist warehouse has a curious shape as it is situated in a triangular lot, where six streets intersect. While the [darkened black exterior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tallowwood-cabin) communicates an unapologetic attitude with a sleek modern design, local firm Moarqs introduce an inner courtyard that allows a nice little breath of fresh air.
