The company enlisted the firm 'Boor Bridges Architecture' to create its new offices and as it builds software for schools, that is the theme the space revolves around. The space features meeting rooms, private offices as well as an [open plan, with comfortable lounge areas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kokuyo) dispersed throughout. The industrial infrastructure of the building was used to the designers' advantage and is coupled with [playful decor pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/max-zone) for a contemporary aesthetic. As more and more companies look to attract younger demographics, offices such as this software development firm's work to create environments that are better suited to the needs of Millennials. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Education-inspired Office Spaces:** Opportunity for firms to design office spaces inspired by the industries they serve. - **Youthful Work Environments:** Growing trend of companies designing workplaces to attract younger demographics. - **Functional Aesthetic:** Opportunity for design firms to incorporate playful decor into functional office spaces. ### Who This Affects Most - **Software Development:** Opportunity for software development firms to incorporate playful design elements into their office spaces to attract younger talent. - **Architecture:** Opportunity for architecture firms to specialize in designing education-inspired office spaces for companies that serve those industries. - **Interior Design:** Growing demand for interior designers to create functional yet aesthetically pleasing office spaces for companies looking to attract younger demographics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Youthful-Inspired Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esalco-logistics.md) - [Vibrant Multi-Level Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gensler.md) - [Playful Contemporary Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-contemporary-office.md) - [Bright Tonal Modern Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinklr.md) - [Contemporary interactive workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-workspace.md) - [Incredibly Colorful Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorful-office.md) - [Remote Work-Catering Modern Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-plow.md) - [Collaborative Bright Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spring-office-loft.md) - [Bright Creative Office Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauvage-tv.md)
