# Outdoor Co-Working Spaces The TreeXOffice Breathes Fresh Air into More Traditional Workplaces By Meghan Young | Published 2015-06-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coworking-space References: [fastcoexist](http://www.fastcoexist.com/3046998/sick-of-your-drab-office-try-this-coworking-space-in-the-canopy-of-a-tree) & [groundwork.org.uk](http://www.groundwork.org.uk/Sites/london/Website/tree-office) The co-working space is gaining a lot of steam as millennials continue to embrace alternative work schedules and jobs. Yet until now, these flexible offices have remained fairly traditional themselves -- at least design-wise. TreeXOffice hopes to break that model by introducing an [outdoor co-working space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-for-roundtable). Essentially a [canopy in the trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canopy-desk), it literally breathes fresh air into the office perfect for breeding creativity and productivity. Designed by New York University professor Natalie Jeremijenko, the co-working space is located in an East London park called Hoxton Square. Able to accommodate six to eight people at a time, it's an art project that also benefits the park. Jeremijenko says, "The profits from the tree are spent in the interest of the tree. By making it specifically about the tree, and the kind of revenue that the tree can generate, we're really exploring a larger political discussion of what are the rights of nature." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Outdoor Co-working Spaces:** Designing co-working spaces in outdoor environments to improve creativity and productivity. - **Eco-friendly Co-working:** Using profits generated from co-working spaces to benefit the environment and create sustainable workplaces. - **Art-inspired Workspaces:** Combining co-working spaces with art projects to create unique and inspiring work environments. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Creating outdoor co-working spaces in hotels and cafes to attract remote workers and business travelers. - **Real Estate:** Developing eco-friendly co-working spaces in urban areas to cater to the growing demand for sustainable workplaces. - **Art and Design:** Incorporating art installations and projects into co-working spaces to provide unique and inspiring work environments for creatives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Biophilic Workplace Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-garden.md) - [Tree-Inspired Panelled Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hood-design-studio.md) - [Plant-Centric Dynamic Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-of-edyn.md) - [Modern London Co-Working Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apex.md) - [Nature-Connecting Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/here-now.md) - [Portable Office Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ootbox.md) - [Open-Air Summer Workstations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipz-on-summer-chair.md) - [Connective Remote Work Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-studio1.md) - [Greenhouse Office Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-for-roundtable.md)
