The interior of this structure is awesome.

[Architects] Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen says, "The Brain is a 14,280 cubic-foot cinematic laboratory where the client, a filmmaker, can work out ideas. Physically, that neighborhood birthplace of invention, the garage, provides the conceptual model. The form is essentially a cast-in-place concrete box, intended to be a strong yet neutral background that provides complete flexibility to adapt the space at will. Inserted into the box along the north wall is a steel mezzanine. All interior structures are made using raw, hot-rolled steel sheets."

The exterior, not so much. But if the exterior looked more like this:

It'd be a lot nicer. You can kind of imagine what the structure would look like if you combine in your head this image with the second one from above:

If this were a little bigger, and a little cleaner - just replace that big door with giant windows.  Now that would be an office to get up for in the morning.

[alsø wik] The apartment therapy links are long dead, as is the site where I got the barn image. But the Brain is still available here. There's more internal images there, worth a look.
