[Facebook's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facebook-debuts-at-stagecoach) latest flagship building, MPK 20, looks like a contemporary art gallery right off the bat. This isn't surprising since it was designed by none-other-than Frank Gehry. Located on Facebook's Menlo Park campus, MPK 20 is a 430,000-square-foot LEED-certified building that will house a third of Facebook's global team.

People might be enamored with the vibrantly painted walls found inside, but the true winning feature of MPK 20 is the building's [massive roof garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-garden). Providing a refreshing sanctuary, it boasts 9 acres of grass, 400 trees and a half-mile walking loop. Fast Co Design reports that to celebrate the completion of MPK 20, "Facebook allowed some of [Instagram’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-brand-identity) elite photographers to enter the space for the first time." The resulting images will have people wishing they worked there.
