# Geography-Themed Tech Offices The Google Office in Boston is Inspired by the City Itself By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-09-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-office-in-boston References: [officesnapshots](https://officesnapshots.com/2016/09/12/google-offices-cambridge/) & [nelsononline](https://www.nelsononline.com/) Architectural firm 'Nelson' designed the new [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-view) office in Boston, Massachusetts in a way that makes reference to some of the city's landmarks. Since Google is known for the [playful environments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podimo-office) it provides its employees with, it is difficult to imagine how people are able to get work done in offices that look like adult playgrounds. The Google office in Boston is no different, with plenty of lounges and relaxing work areas areas that offer bunk beds, mini putting and photo booths. The office space has a section that references Boston's transportation system and has a cafe inspired by the [Boston Public Garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-x-new-era-mlb). This office manages to maintain the creative environment that Google employees are given the opportunity to work, relax and interact in -- in a way that remains unique to the region it is placed in. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Geography-themed Offices:** Create office spaces that are inspired by the local culture and landmarks to enhance employee creativity and engagement. - **Playful Work Environments:** Design offices with recreational areas and unique features to promote a fun and relaxed atmosphere for employees, boosting productivity and satisfaction. - **Regional Branding in Offices:** Incorporate elements of the local culture, history, and identity into office design to create a sense of place and connection that aligns with the company's values. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture & Interior Design:** Opportunity to create innovative office designs that incorporate local culture and landmarks, offering unique spaces that enhance productivity and employee well-being. - **Technology:** Potential to adopt geography-themed office concepts to promote a vibrant and creative work environment that attracts top talent and fosters innovation. - **Hospitality & Tourism:** Explore partnerships with tech companies to design geography-themed offices that provide immersive experiences, attracting business professionals seeking unique work environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Expansive Tech Offices Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/googleplex.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) - [Kaleidoscope Vibrant Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mountain-view.md) - [Contemporary interactive workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-workspace.md) - [Biophilic Workplace Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-garden.md) - [Incredibly Colorful Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-office.md) - [Pier-Side Dynamic Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/big-hq.md) - [Innovative-Centric Office Flagships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ibm-nyc-flagship.md)
