The new office has received a cool and contemporary interior design from upcoming architecture and interior design brand Penson. Penson has infused the Google Engineering headquarters with cool design elements and a futuristic aesthetic, with vibrant glowing hallways and pristine white rooms. The design includes everything from gaming rooms and music studios to a coffee lab -- which is made of compressed sheets of spent fresh coffee shavings, according to the designers -- and flight pods. The flight pods, [innovative lounge areas and meeting spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-perron), were actually invented by Penson specifically for Google. What's more, most of the walls at the Google Engineering headquarters are made with magnetic white board laminates, giving the space a glossy look and enabling the engineers to write or draw wherever they are. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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's Driving This Trend - **Futuristic Office Design:** Architectural and Interior design firms can explore innovative ways of infusing futuristic designs into corporate office spaces - **Innovative Meeting Spaces:** Companies can explore inventive meeting spaces that promote creativity and increase productivity when brainstorming ideas. - **Sustainable Material Use:** Companies can adopt sustainable materials such as compressed spent fresh coffee shavings to create eco-friendly interiors. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architecture and Interior Design:** As businesses become more aware of the impact of the physical office environment on morale and performance, there will be increasing demand for innovative architecture and interior design firms. - **Office Supplies and Furniture:** The development of innovative and futuristic offices will lead to higher demand for unique supplies and furniture. - **Green Sustainable Industry:** A growing trend in office design is the use of environmentally friendly materials such as compressed spent fresh coffee shavings that could disrupt the office supply and sustainable materials industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Expansive Tech Offices Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/googleplex.md) - [Kaleidoscope Vibrant Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-view.md) - [Vibrant Multi-Level Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gensler.md) - [Redefined LA-Based Comfortable Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gensler-1.md) - [Contemporary interactive workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-workspace.md) - [Future-Facing Tech Brand Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seed-chair.md) - [Tech-Base Workspace Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foster-partners4.md) - [Natural Material-Focused Headquarters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/escritrio-da-engenharia.md) - [Wired Grid Open Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scienceio.md)
