# Underpass Workstations This Underpass Studio Workspace is a Result of an Urban Space Shortage By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-08-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-workspace References: [blessthisstuff](http://www.blessthisstuff.com/stuff/living/misc-living/underpass-studio-workspace/) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/lebrelfurniture/) Urban space is becoming limited in more areas around the world more than ever, so this underpass studio workspace is a result of it that is both ingenious and charming. Created by Fernando Abellanas who creates furniture under the Lebrel label, the workspace is hidden below a roadway several meters above the ground. This makes it possible for the designer to work in his own space without having to worry about congestion, crowding or having to pay high rent costs. The underpass studio workspace is accessed with a [platform that is designed with casters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/castillo-mobile-office) that let it be cranked from one side to the other for quick access. The designer has bolted a [chair, shelf and desk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leandesk) to the concrete wall for easy storage. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 58% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Limited Urban Space:** Opportunity for innovative workspaces and solutions that make efficient use of limited urban space. - **Hidden Workspaces:** Opportunity for hidden or underground workspaces that provide privacy and eliminate congestion and high rent costs. - **Mobile Workstations:** Opportunity for portable workstations that can be easily moved and accessed in crowded urban areas. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture Design:** Opportunity for furniture designers to create innovative and compact furniture solutions for small urban spaces. - **Urban Architecture:** Opportunity for architects and designers to create hidden or underground workspaces that utilize underutilized urban areas. - **Co-working Spaces:** Opportunity for co-working space providers to offer mobile workstations that can be easily relocated and accessed in congested urban centers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Scooter-Like Portable Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-work-station.md) - [Self-Designed Tranquil Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-saransh.md) - [Freestanding Vertical Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workstick.md) - [Cohesive Modern Workspace Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unorthodox-designs.md) - [Fold-Out WFH Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/writing-bureau.md) - [Single-Piece Construction Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nook-desk.md) - [Pocket Storage-Equipped Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-desk.md) - [Tubular Construction Desk Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/work-flow-desk.md) - [Modular Fold-Out Desk Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldable-wooden-workstation.md)
