There’s a certain type of old office with the yellow windows, cielings, walls and blinds. Strange stains everywhere and visible ducting all over the place. It feels homely to me. Modern offices feel cold and without soul, lighting is too bright and lacks natural sunlight. The offices of old you get the yellowed softened sunlight showing all the dust particles in the air.
The one i went to was basically empty. Areas cordoned off with a handful of staff left. A random bucket in the middle of the room to catch a leak. Dark corridors and flickery tube lights. I sat in a room with the window open listening to the breeze rustle the tobacco stained blinds.
Anyone else got this absurd feeling or just me?
I get this for old administrative buildings, the ones with weirdly narrow hallways, brown-painted cinderblock walls, and shop lights hanging from the ceiling. I have absolutely no idea why because I’ve never worked in one.
Same for me I’ve never actually worked in this style of office yet it feels like i know it well. Maybe because my school had a similar building style maybe, without the cigarette damage ofc.
Or maybe i just like the vibe of tired old nearly abandoned buildings.
