Manchester Civil Justice Centre, Manchester, UK, 2008 designed by Denton Corker Marshall
The working courts and offices are expressed as long rectilinear forms, articulated at each floor level, and projecting at each end of the building as a varied composition of solid and void. In side elevation, these elements collectively establish a dynamic and distinctive building profile; in end elevation, they form a powerful sculptural interplay of light and shade, depth and complexity. -- ArchDaily

Shaken Office, Rosenburglaan 15, Groningen, the Netherlands, 2009 designed by Zerodegree Architecture

Minimalistic floor plan is also the principle of the construction system. Façade panels are perforated steel panels which covers 50% of glass surfaces.  -- ArchDaily
