Everything from the imposing black walls to the red artery-like entrance points in this direction. Of course, it is also well suited to its actual purpose, the main office of the [motocross apparel company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maap-lab-sydney). Conceived when the Foxhead Global Headquarters was set to relocated from Morgan Hill, in [Northern California](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-job), to Irvine, California, it was designed by Culver City-based Clive Wilkinson Architects. They turned an [existing warehouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nderkleiva) into an airy space the reflected the inner workings of a 'city.' With everything from a 'main street' to 'neighborhoods,' the Foxhead Global Headquarters is quite the metropolis. The designers writes, "The resulting ‘city’ is a reflection of the company’s character: an open and creative workplace that fosters interaction between varied groups of specialists." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Atrium Metropolis:** The transformation of office designs into atrium metropolises is a disruptive innovation opportunity for architecture firms, offering more interactive and creative workplace designs. - **Warehouse Conversion:** The trend towards to converting warehouse spaces into open, airy and creative workspaces creates innovative opportunities for interior design firms in maximizing commercial spaces. - **Corporate Theme Parks:** The rise of corporate theme parks as office environments presents innovative opportunities for company branding as well as creating a more comfortable and interactive workspace ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** The atrium metropolis trend presents disruptive innovation opportunities for architecture firms in designing workspaces that reflect the company's character and improve collaboration within groups. - **Interior Design:** The warehouse conversion trend provides innovative opportunities for interior design firms to incorporate unique concepts in commercial space designs. - **Corporate Branding:** The creation of corporate theme parks as office environments offers innovative opportunities for companies to strengthen their brand and create a more appealing workplace. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creative Office Campuses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mothers-la-headquarters.md) - [Green Terracotta-Donned Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robert-a-iger-building.md) - [Vertical Creative Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-studio-los-angeles.md) - [Community-Centric Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tricon-residential.md) - [Community-Harnessing Workplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emit-technologies.md) - [Community-Centric Headquarters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/communitycentric-design.md) - [Playful Futuristic Work Campuses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/max-zone.md) - [Tree-Inspired Panelled Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hood-design-studio.md) - [Music Industry Creative Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/22re.md)
