When designing for a company that is all about disrupting how you discover your area, it makes sense this design firm was inspired by street icons and images. What was formally a 60,000 square foot Victorian building has now become home to a curiously creative social network. The [corner-to-corner canvassed walls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podimo-office) were fabricated to emulate alleyways, which are often covered in graffiti and eye-catching posters. It also represents the way Yelp brings together a multitude of talents, yet focuses on constantly changing its style and approach. Exposed brick walls and a fence-like bike rack add to the urban aesthetics in this visually stimulating office. The O+A Architecture Yelp headquarters showcases how new and old can be blended into one solid workplace. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 70% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Graphic Posters:** Opportunity for companies to incorporate bold and eye-catching graphic posters in their office design to create a visually stimulating environment. - **Urban Style:** Potential for businesses to embrace urban aesthetics in their office design, utilizing exposed brick walls and graffiti-inspired elements. - **Blend of New and Old:** Innovation opportunity to merge old architectural elements with modern design concepts to create a unique and cohesive workspace. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture and Design:** Opportunity for architects and designers to create innovative and visually appealing office spaces that reflect the company's culture and brand. - **Interior Decor:** Potential for interior decor businesses to offer graphic posters and urban-inspired design elements to companies looking to transform their office spaces. - **Creative Services:** Opportunity for creative agencies to work with companies in designing unique office environments that embody the blend of new and old architectural elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Playful Studio Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-workspace.md) - [Welcoming Californian Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evite.md) - [Community-Centric Headquarters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/communitycentric-design.md) - [Studio-Workshop Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banda-agency-kyiv.md) - [Californian Modern Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-job.md) - [Creative Office Campuses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mothers-la-headquarters.md) - [Youthful-Inspired Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esalco-logistics.md) - [Bright Colorful Workshop Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-sm.md) - [Vibrant Multi-Level Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gensler.md)
