Lots of natural sunlight and I bet it’s a fantastic walk to and from work. Definitely the mood of the workplace would change depending on whether it was rainy and dark outside or sunny and light.
Another commentator brings up a good point. I bet there are places in the tube that have huge sound amplication. No way to make a private phone call.

I do think the sound and air quality inside that tube might be quite uncomfortable… it’s an interesting experiment but I have a feeling it would be like working in a tunnel. It’s interesting that the Scientific American article didn’t deal with sound levels and quality – it’s the thing people are most unconscious of, but it makes a huge difference.

Agreed, it is set in nature, but looks more coincidental than anything, as it does not really seem connected or rooted into the landscape. The building could sit equally well in a desert, under the ocean or on the Moon, that to me signifies a lack of connection with its surroundings.

I’m not sure if I would feel like a valued employee more than an interesting subject of an experiment, by those on high. But perhaps it’s the really low ceiling that I particularly don’t like. Maybe I’m just a lofty, high ceilinged sort of guy!
