# Renovated Industrial Spaces This Zecc Architects Factory Loft is a Phenomenal Transformation By Jordan M | Published 2011-02-17 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zecc-architects-factory-loft References: [zecc.nl](http://www.zecc.nl/) From one of my favorite and most inspiring design firms, this Zecc Architects factory loft represents everything that is possible when it comes to interiors seemingly "beyond repair." Though an old manufacturing plant might seem like the last place that could be turned into an inviting residence, this Zecc Architects factory loft achieves just that by highlighting the space's historical character. With large, bright skylights and a clean and modern aesthetic, the loft is definitely appealing in many ways. **Implications** - The environmental aspects of the Zecc Architects Factory Loft demonstrates the company's eco-conscious mind. The renovation of existing buildings to create this space has helped save energy, avoid carbon emissions and has proven cost efficient. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Renovated Industrial Spaces:** Renovating and repurposing old industrial spaces for residential and commercial use. - **Historical Character Preservation:** Preserving and highlighting the historical character of old buildings during renovation. - **Eco-conscious Design:** Creating environmentally friendly and energy-efficient spaces through renovation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Architects specializing in the renovation and repurposing of old industrial spaces. - **Construction:** Construction companies skilled in renovating existing buildings while preserving their historical character. - **Sustainable Development:** Sustainable development firms focused on creating eco-conscious and energy-efficient spaces through renovation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [NYC Apartment Renovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyn-loft.md) - [Exposed Wooden Beam Lofts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gowanus-loft.md) - [Renovated Compact Loft Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vessel-project.md) - [Textile-Transformed Parisian Lofts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isabelle-heilmann.md) - [Vibrantly Designed German Lofts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitrahaus-loft.md) - [Reimagined Modern NYC Lofts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tribeca-loft.md) - [Redeveloped Industrial Cafés](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ironworks-caf.md) - [Water Tower-Transformed Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amsterdamsestraatweg-water-tower.md) - [Repurposed Textile Factory Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freitag-1.md)
