# Expansive Pillared Offices The Squarespace Office Features Large Contemporary Work and Play Areas By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-10-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squarespace-office References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2016/10/04/have-a-look-at-the-design-of-the-new-squarespace-office-in-new-york/) & [aplusi](http://www.aplusi.com/) The head Squarespace office is in New York and was designed by the firm 'A+I.' The office is quite expansive but despite this, manages to feel like it has a youthful start-up culture rather than an overly moderated corporate one. The entire space has a [neutral color theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinzo-architekten), which features mostly grays, blacks, browns and green pops of color in the form of [plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mangrove-garden). The Squarespace office has high ceilings throughout and lets in ample natural lighting, while featuring a contemporary cafeteria, work spaces that are both open and private, a lounge area that resembles an indoor courtyard and even a rooftop lounge that overlooks New York City. This office manages to avoid feeling like a typical corporate office despite technically being one, while giving employees a comforting and productivity-enhancing space to work in. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 48% | 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) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Contemporary Work Spaces:** Opportunities for designing modern and unconventional work spaces to promote productivity and collaboration among employees. - **Innovative Office Design:** Using creative techniques to design work spaces that combine functionality with aesthetics and promote employee well-being. - **Youthful Corporate Culture:** Creating a corporate culture that feels more like a startup to attract and retain young talent. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Office Design:** Designing unconventional work spaces that promote employee productivity and well-being. - **Architecture:** Using creative architectural techniques to design modern, functional and aesthetic work spaces. - **Human Resources:** Creating a startup-like culture within larger organizations to attract and retain young talent. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cozy Mixed-Use Gathering Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixeduse-gathering-space.md) - [Art Gallery-Inspired Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maniera.md) - [Wired Grid Open Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scienceio.md) - [Bright Tonal Modern Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinklr.md) - [Bright Creative Office Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sauvage-tv.md) - [London-Inspired Vibrant Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/area-office.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) - [Reinvented Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mislad.md)
