# Curvaceously Canopied Clubs This Renovated Beach Club is Courtesy of Erginoğlu & Çalışlar By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-06-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/renovated-beach-club References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2014/06/05/erginoglu-calislars-beach-club-renovation-baku/) & [ecarch](http://www.ecarch.com/) Istanbul studio Erginoğlu & Çalışlar worked on the renovation for the Amburan [Beach Club](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ibiza-beach-club), a facility located in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku. The architects designed a [curving concrete canopy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aruma-restaurant) to surround the perimeter of the club, supported by hundreds of columns. The central pool is surrounded by [stepped terraces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balnea-spa), providing space for sunbathing, bars and cafes. Though narrow, the plot stretches over 14 acres of the city's Amburan district, and features several dispersed entertainment facilities. In order to integrate the buildings into the new scheme, the architects remodeled their facades for better assimilation. The homogenous white surfaces and their curves work to unite the physical structure of the club and reflect sunlight away from it. The fluid, free-flowing design was inspired by Brazilian beach culture, specifically the work of architect Oscar Niemeyer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 8% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Curvilinear Architecture:** Architects are designing curvilinear structures in their renovation projects, inspired by Brazilian beach culture. - **Integrated Entertainment Facilities:** Facilities that provide multiple entertainment options in one location are becoming a trend in the hospitality industry. - **Sustainable Design:** More designers are incorporating sustainable materials and reflective surfaces into their building designs to reduce their environmental impact. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** Hospitality industry is renovating properties to include integrated entertainment facilities with fluid and curvilinear designs to attract more customers. - **Architecture:** Curvilinear and sustainable architecture is disrupting the industry to produce new structural design approaches with unique aesthetics and ecological benefits. - **Real Estate:** Real estate properties are incorporating sustainable design techniques, and unique designs like curvilinear architecture to make their properties more attractive and eco-friendly to potential buyers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Turkey-Based Club Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scorpios-bodrum.md) - [Architecturally Romantic Restaurant Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urbanjobs.md) - [Steel Pavilion Sports Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocol-sports-club.md) - [Sea-inspired Bar Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/civico-29.md) - [Canopy Restaurant Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/millo-restaurant.md) - [Modern Neutral-Toned Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-boca-raton.md) - [Organic Cliffside Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intaaya-retreat.md) - [Beach Club-Inspired Holiday Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sydney-coastal-home.md) - [Luxurious Pool Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bombon-pool-club.md)
