Enclosed Garden

Indoor gardening in homes and building emerges to satisfy eco aesthetics

Implications - Public and residential architecture is seeing a widespread incorporation of indoor gardens as consumers become more invested in both the health and sustainability of their environments. This continued blurring of indoor and outdoor spaces speaks to the influence of the eco movement in determining aesthetic preferences, as well as the desire for enhanced quality of life.
Workshop Question - How could your industry benefit from embracing emerging the Millennial norms that spark small-space living and indoor gardening?
Trend Themes
1. Indoor Green Spaces - As consumers become more eco-conscious and invest in both the health and sustainability of their environments, there is a growing incorporation of indoor gardens in public and residential architecture.
2. Vertical Gardening - With a growing demand for products that allow consumers to grow their own food in urban environments, there is a trend of vertical gardening systems that bring the urban garden indoors.
3. Integrated Workspaces - To inspire creativity among employees, companies are designing unique workspaces with different themes and floors that cascade across each level, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - With a growing incorporation of indoor gardens in public and residential architecture, there is an opportunity to innovate new eco-friendly building designs that seamlessly incorporate natural green spaces.
2. Sustainability - As more companies and individuals invest in eco-conscious lifestyles, there is an opportunity to develop new products and systems that encourage sustainable practices such as vertical gardening, indoor hydroponic systems, and sustainable garden skyscrapers.
3. Urban Agriculture - As the demand for products that allow consumers to grow their own food in urban environments continues to grow, there is an opportunity to develop new indoor gardening systems that are portable, yet contained eco-systems.
