1980s Glass Interior Office Perspective Vertigo
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the 1980s, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into the interior of Green Park House in Croydon, Greater London. The image showcases an impressive atrium, viewed from a gantry above, with its focal point being the wall climber lift on the top floor. The glass walls surrounding this architectural marvel provide an unobstructed view of the entire space, creating a sense of vertigo-inducing depth and perspective. The Prudential offices within Green Park House were officially opened on June 21st, 1985 – an event that undoubtedly marked a milestone for both Laing company and Croydon's business landscape. This particular print was featured in Team Spirit, Laing's company newsletter in June 1985. It served as visual documentation for their story on the grand opening of this remarkable building. The composition exudes elegance and modernity through its sleek design elements and abundant natural light flooding through the glass structure. It captures not only an office interior but also reflects societal trends prevalent during that era. As we admire this archival gem from Historic England Archive by A© Joh, it reminds us of how architecture can transcend time and become a testament to human ingenuity.
