Architect Shahriar Nasser was commissioned by the school to transform an existing space, rendered archaic and unsafe by students, into a welcoming [locker room facility](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gumpo-lockers). The results of his forward-thinking design made for a maze-like look that puts exposed steel columns center stage in a crimson red shape that contrasts the otherwise white interior. This sleek decor adheres to the LSE's branding that brings a contemporary edge of [bold color energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-iron-house). In order to refurbish the facility, the locker height was reduced with improved lighting and ventilation. The remodeling of the Locker Room by Belsize Architects makes for visually striking mecca of modernism in the historic London School of Economics. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 6% | 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) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Maze-like Design:** Designing spaces with maze-like features to make a visually striking impact. - **Contemporary Branding:** Using bold color energy and contemporary branding to update historic spaces. - **Reduced Locker Height:** Reducing locker height to increase space and improve ventilation and lighting. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Design:** Opportunities for architects and designers to utilize maze-like designs and contemporary branding in their projects. - **Education:** Opportunities for schools and universities to update their facilities with modern design and improved functionality. - **Construction:** Opportunities for construction companies to renovate existing spaces with reduced locker heights, improved lighting and ventilation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Blue-Accented Academic Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marie-esther-pavilion.md) - [Educational Storage Shed Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-roof.md) - [Playful International School Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-house-school-villalobos.md) - [Ultra-Playful Studio Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-workspace.md) - [Demountable Wooden Retail Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/present-correct1.md) - [Modern Locker Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mustard-made.md) - [Pool Reinvention Campuses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waltham-forest-college.md) - [Rerfeshed Historic Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloisters-interiors.md) - [Brutalist Converted Learning Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archipelago.md)
