The [industrial loft space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apartment-v) is designed for a young couple who plan on expanding their family and raising a small child in the near future. When describing his concept for this residence, designer Yukio Kimura states that while "[minimal design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-cocoon) can be considered as a cold and hard approach, this apartment's inhabitants will work better in a limited interior that will allow them to infuse their own personality within it." The open-concept space features [exposed structural elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milo-apartment) and even features custom-designed table and chair pieces. The KK apartment is painted white, a tone that works well with the residence's metal fixtures and finishes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reflective Surface German Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kier-apartment.md) - [Industrial-Inspired Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glassbrick-apartment.md) - [Modern Minimalism Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oldnew.md) - [Brutalist Minimal Apartment Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fj-apartment.md) - [Japanese-Inspired Elevated Pied-à-Terres](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piedterre.md) - [Industrial Apartment Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fm-apartment.md) - [NYC Apartment Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyn-loft.md) - [Adjustable Japanese Studio Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/building-frame-of-the-house.md) - [Minimal Japanese Home Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-kyobate.md)
