# Oak-Screened Offices The Case Meallin Office Features a Wooden Screened Interior By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-05-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/case-meallin-office References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2014/05/22/case-meallin-office-by-mim-design/) & [peterclarke.au](http://www.peterclarke.com.au/) The Case Meallin Office in Australia features accents that most would expect to find on the exterior of a house. Instead, the architecture firm Mim Design had to get creative with the layout, so added in these details to update the interior. The [oak accents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilion-jardins) can also be seen in the tall pillars throughout the office, almost giving it a [cabin-like aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oculus). These details really make the place much more cozy, which is ideal for most people instead of being stuck in a [desolate office environment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinzo-architekten). The team did not have that much space to work with either, so did their best to keep everything open for making the area look that much larger for employees. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Wood-interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop eco-friendly materials and techniques for creating wooden interiors in various architectural settings. - **Office Aesthetics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create office designs that prioritize comfort and coziness to enhance employee well-being and productivity. - **Space Optimization:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative strategies and technologies to maximize space utilization in small office environments. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce sustainable interior design materials and solutions to create visually appealing and functional spaces. - **Office Furniture and Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing furniture and decor items that enhance the ambiance and functionality of office spaces. - **Workplace Wellness and Productivity:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop technologies, strategies, and services that promote employee well-being, comfort, and productivity in office environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reinvented Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mislad.md) - [Tranquil Plant-Filled Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyer-co.md) - [Biophilic Workplace Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-garden.md) - [70s-Inspired Rustic Law Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/century-city-law.md) - [Californian Modern Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-job.md) - [Plant-Centric Dynamic Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-of-edyn.md) - [Modern Deco Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newgen.md) - [Mid-Century Tonal Cozy Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drama-republic.md) - [Wooden Site Home OFfices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-rock.md)
