I once interned in a law office on Long Island. The entire place looked like it had been not only built but furnished in the 19th century. Everything in the office - from desk and tables to bookshelves and a grandfather clock - was big and heavy and made of beautiful dark, polished wood, and most of the floors were covered in oriental rugs. Each employee had a good-sized private office with at least one large window. It was like working out of a mansion from a story book.

The World Bank headquarters in DC. Back in 2009, they got a brand new LEEDS certified building. It was open floor for us (sitting alongside traders) BUT tons of space and natural lighting. When I left, I really missed that for a while.

On the inside or the outside? I worked in the Flatiron building in New York for a few years. People who have never seen the inside of the building sometimes seem impressed by that.

On the inside. Here in London, some buildings are not that impressive outside. But once inside, some of them are fantastic.
