# Indoor Garden Workspaces The Cuningham Group Hayden Place Office is Focused on Sustainability By Meghan Young | Published 2013-03-06 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuningham-group-hayden-place References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/1671985/an-office-built-around-an-indoor-garden) & [cuningham](http://www.cuningham.com/) Instead of relying on the odd potted plant to add a bit of greenery here and there in the Cuningham Group Hayden Place office space, architects decided to build it around a lush indoor garden. Complete with a [curvaceous wooden trellis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilion-jardins), it is a foliage-filled sanctuary for employees to enjoy a relaxing break in or to even escape from the stress of day-to-day responsibilities. Clearly, the Cuningham Group Hayden Place holds nature in high regard. In addition to the indoor garden, the office space focuses on [sustainable practices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office27). Built in an old warehouse, it takes advantage of natural lighting by way of large windows and a handful of skylights. It also boasts a number of vents to allow fresh air to circulate within. Located near a bike path and light-rail stop, employees are encouraged to travel to work via eco-friendly transportation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Indoor Garden Workspaces:** Companies can consider incorporating lush indoor green spaces in their office to promote employee relaxation and reduce stress. - **Sustainable Office Spaces:** Businesses can adopt sustainable practices and integrate green building features to reduce their carbon footprint and create a positive environmental impact. - **Eco-friendly Transportation:** Organizations can encourage their employees to use eco-friendly transportation options, such as biking or public transport, to reduce carbon emissions and contribute to a cleaner environment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture and Design:** Architecture and design firms can create innovative office spaces that include green design features and promote sustainability practices. - **Corporate Real Estate:** Corporate real estate companies can identify commercial real estate properties that have green building features and offer sustainable office spaces for businesses. - **Transportation:** Transportation companies can develop and implement eco-friendly transportation options, such as bike-sharing programs or green public transport, to enable businesses to reduce their carbon footprint. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tranquil Plant-Filled Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wyer-co.md) - [Biophilic Workplace Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-garden.md) - [Nature Integrated Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bochum-office.md) - [Greenhouse Office Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-for-roundtable.md) - [Valley-Inspired Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitaoka-group-office.md) - [Community-Centric Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tricon-residential.md) - [Self-Designed Tranquil Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-saransh.md) - [Office-Friendly Gardening Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loopo-green-system.md) - [Nature-Connecting Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/here-now.md)
