The brand identified a niche in the [co-working environment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-malin-1) — a market that has been booming since freelancing has been gaining traction as a means of sustaining life. The business announced the debut of its fourth membership-only location in London. In partnership with N Family Club— "one of London's most forward-thinking childcare providers," Second Home is able to curate a family-friendly workspace environment with an [on-site nursery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deya-day-care). The aesthetics of the new site are playfully arranged by Estudio Lasso Cano. The practice draws inspiration from "German architect Frei Otto's [biophilic shapes and forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-garden)." In addition, Second Home recognizes environmental concerns and thus, commissions its family-friendly workspace to run on 100% green energy.
