Here is a model for an office building…
Blume & Rosen Business Solutions
The windows at ground level allow for lots of natural light and views to the exterior, while moderating views to the interior, as well as preventing break-ins.
Geometric Primitives
The design arises from a seven-sided polygon rotated seven times around a vertex. This was overlaid with a smaller one having the same center point, which in turn was overlaid by a yet smaller one.
