Rather than finding ways to bring the outdoors inside, an increasing number of companies and organizations have started to create inspirational outdoor workspaces for their employees. The approach is different, but in the end the goal is the same: embrace the biophilia hypothesis, which states that humans possess an innate tendency to seek connections with nature and other forms of life, and enjoy the benefits that come with it. Outdoor working areas also can provide optimal environments for strengthening relationships between coworkers and advancing common purposes in the workplace.

Another popular trend is combining work and leisure. This means hospitality venues should cater to customers' work needs, introducing tables paired with ergonomic outdoor sofas allowing for business meetings or collaborative discussions between colleagues during their lunch breaks.
