Two different themes possible?

Hi there,
I’m planning a website for an association (different pages, news blog…). In addition to the “normal” website, there should be a community based on BuddyPress. So my question is: is it possible to use “theme a” for the “normal” site and “theme b” for the BuddyPress community? Would a multisite-installation be the solution? Or is there another way?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Dani

BuddyPress uses a theme compatibility layer, meaning it uses its own templates that are designed to drop into any theme. You can overload all kinds of template parts for BuddyPress:

However, there are plugins (I’ve not tested) that you could maybe get to work if you have two themes in mind: https://wordpress.org/plugins/jonradio-multiple-themes/
