The emergence of the Millennial workforce has resulted in the increasing number of [open concept office designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mislad), but this green, [park-like work space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ola-palermo) by 07beach takes this concept to an entirely new level.

During this project, the design firm transformed the offices of a tourism company in Ho Chi Minh city to promote the employee's well-being. The space took inspiration from the open-air environment of a park and is filled with nature-inspired features like grassy hills that are perfect for a casual meeting or hosting events, and birdcage-like meeting rooms. Living plants are also incorporated into the design to help encourage collaboration and positivity.

The re-design saw the transformation of all five floors of this office building, which houses over 500 employees.
