Office Spaces #2

I have a confession to make. It's not just old, pretty buildings I love. I've got a surprising soft spot for vintage (1950s-1980s) office architecture, as well. Perhaps it's a bit incongruous, after all these buildings aren't as obviously comely as, say, a famous historic home. But there's beauty to be found in the bold lines and multitudinous windows of these workplaces, too. You just have to look a little harder. 

I really do love this particular office space. On a road full of homes and other small offices, this one stands out. In a way, it makes me think of imposing, ancient buildings you might find in London. No, really. Any building with an interior courtyard reached through a gated entry. This is just a modern, office reinterpretation. I haven't come across many buildings like this one, with the central pass through, so it caught my attention in a serious way. If it didn't have that distinctive feature, perhaps I would have driven right on by without giving it a second look.
