Atrium in a research and development facility

These are pictures of stunning plant displays in the atrium of Schlumberger Cambridge Research Ltd., a famous building near Cambridge, England.  The building, constructed in the mid-1980s, was designed by Michael Hopkins and Partners.  The central 'atrium' joins two wings of the building housing offices and laboratories.  The atrium is roofed by a Teflon-coated fibreglass tent-like structure that allows in a vast amount of diffuse natural light.  This space is used as a meeting area, place to relax and to carry out large-scale tests of oilfield exploration equipment.
