Werksmans Chambers

Designed by:	Helmut Jahn
Type:	Office building
Location:	22 Girton Road

An interesting building that bring the outdoors indoors. Not content with a mere atrium, this building curves around a central courtyard covered by a sloped roof, but still open on one end. The only way to bring more natural light into an office is to simply be outside. The structure gives the flanking wings of offices a center focus, and relieves busy workers from the doldrums of life in a cube farm.
