Designed by Mass Studies, the Belgian designer's shop is covered with greenery; herbaceous perennials cover the the outside walls as well as some parts of the interior. Aside from incorporating the eco trend in its architecture, the [nature-inspired shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loewe-branch) has also injected the [fashion-and-food fusion trend](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gold-house) in its design. The four-storey building houses a shop, a multi-store, and a restaurant. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Green Buildings:** The demand for sustainable architecture is on the rise, creating new opportunities for architects and builders to develop eco-friendly designs. - **Fashion & Food Fusion:** The trend of incorporating food into fashion designs is growing, providing opportunities for designers to experiment with unique and unexpected materials. - **Vertical Gardens:** Vertical gardens are becoming more popular and offer a solution for people living in urban areas to have access to green spaces, creating opportunities for landscape architects and designers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Construction:** The use of green architecture in retail spaces demonstrates a trend towards more sustainable building practices and offers opportunities to architects and contractors to specialize in eco-friendly designs and materials. - **Fashion and Apparel:** The fusion of fashion and food is an emerging trend, presenting opportunities for designers to create unique and innovative garments using unexpected materials inspired by culinary creations. - **Restaurant and Hospitality:** Combining food and fashion in retail spaces is a growing trend, opening up opportunities for restaurants and cafes to incorporate fashion and design elements into their business models. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Green Cosmetics Concept Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innisfree-store.md) - [Draped Plant-Design Shopping Centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calwer-passage.md) - [Energetic Green Retail Makeovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/longchamp-store.md) - [Greenery-Filled Skyscraper Terrarium](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrarium-cheongdam.md) - [Stunning Eyewear Store Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyewear-store-aesthetic.md) - [Sustainable Visitor Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-arc.md) - [Tactile Fashion Boutique Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaozhuo.md) - [Zen-Like Shopping Malls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenlike-shopping-mall.md) - [Plant-Filled Latticed Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/touching-eden-house.md)
