The new space is situated in a [mid-century building](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norton-folgate-offices) and the Spanish architects from [SelgasCano](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canary-house) took it upon themselves to create a working space that is enjoyable to employees and members and which honors the structure's heritage. Second Home and SelgasCano collaborated for the fifth time to create a modern office with references to sustainability, utilization of natural light and recurring yellow detailing. The 35 planted trees create a jungle-like ambiance and receive light from the sizable ceiling windows. Thanks to natural light, the modern office's atmosphere shifts as the season change -- from the warm and luminous presence of the summer sun to the cozy and grey companionship of winter. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Adaptable Design:** The use of adaptable design in modern offices provides opportunities for businesses to create flexible and customizable workspaces. - **Sustainability:** Incorporating sustainable practices in office design presents opportunities for businesses to reduce their environmental impact and promote a greener work environment. - **Utilization of Natural Light:** Leveraging natural light in office design can enhance productivity and well-being, offering businesses the chance to create healthier and more inspiring workspaces. ### Where This Applies - **Co-working Spaces:** The rise of adaptable and sustainable office designs presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the co-working industry, allowing for unique and attractive spaces that cater to the needs of entrepreneurs and professionals. - **Architectural Design:** The incorporation of adaptable design and sustainability in modern office spaces opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for the architectural design industry, encouraging the creation of innovative and environmentally conscious workspaces. - **Interior Design:** The trend of utilizing natural light and incorporating sustainable elements in office design provides a disruptive innovation opportunity for the interior design industry, allowing for the creation of visually appealing and eco-friendly work environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plant-Centric Dynamic Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-of-edyn.md) - [Bright Creative Office Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauvage-tv.md) - [Nature-Connecting Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/here-now.md) - [Biophilic Workplace Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-garden.md) - [Mid-Century Tonal Cozy Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drama-republic.md) - [Home-Inspired Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harella-house.md) - [Adaptive Workspace Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salt-hq.md) - [Greenhouse Office Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-for-roundtable.md) - [Californian Modern Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-job.md)
