# Shipping Container Offices Bogotá's Globant Office Features Quirky Design Elements By Mishal Omar | Published 2017-11-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/globant References: [officesnapshots](https://officesnapshots.com/2017/11/09/globant-offices-bogota-2/) & [es.aeilatam](http://es.aeilatam.com/) The software firm Globant's office in Bogotá, Colombia, was designed by the firm AEI Arquitectura e Interiors. The space was inspired by travel – the designers and architects wanted to create a space that was reminiscent of the wonders of traveling and learning about new cultures and environments. This sense of travel is enforced with the use of [shipping containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/castillo-mobile-office) throughout the space, with the containers making up meeting rooms and private work areas, and being painted [vibrant colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauvage-tv). The office also features plenty of [collaborative and lounge spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kokuyo), as well as areas where employees can go when they're looking for more privacy. Globant's Colombia-based office uses color and bold designs to create an environment where employees are able to thrive. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Shipping Container Office Design:** Companies can explore using shipping containers to create flexible and vibrant office spaces that promote collaboration and productivity. - **Travel-inspired Office Design:** Office designs, inspired by global travel, offer opportunities to create an environment that encourages innovation, creativity, and personal growth. - **Collaborative and Private Spaces in Office Design:** Designing offices that prioritize both collaborative and private work spaces can improve employee satisfaction, productivity, and creativity. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture and Design:** Design firms can offer innovative solutions by exploring new designs, ideas, and materials in office spaces - **Real Estate:** Real estate developers can find opportunities in creating flexible and modular office spaces that can be adapted to meet changing needs and demands. - **Software Industry:** Companies in the technology and software industry can benefit from designing spaces that encourage collaboration and creativity, which can lead to innovative ideas. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Incredibly Colorful Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-office.md) - [Vibrant Multi-Level Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gensler.md) - [Inspirational Dubai Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cest-ici-design.md) - [Colorful Creative Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podimo-office.md) - [Contemporary interactive workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-workspace.md) - [Playful Contemporary Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-contemporary-office.md) - [Art Gallery-Inspired Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maniera.md) - [Plant-Centric Dynamic Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-of-edyn.md) - [Compact Mobile Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/castillo-mobile-office.md)
