T
he Capitol Centre is a quaint little office building that incorporates basic geometric forms to create a structure that is pleasantly familiar. Rows of squares are arranged like children's toys to form the main thrust of this minor skyscraper. It is topped by a triangle which uses the same light outline with contrasting interior as the rest of the building's elements. A little variety is achieved with the pair of vertical channels running down the center of the buildings where windows have been angled inward to accommodate shadows and light.
