This is the atrium of the Vancouver Public Library Central branch. An atrium is kind of like an indoor courtyard. The VPL atrium has a bunch of small shops and stores, such as a coffee shop and a pizza shop and a few gift shops.
Isn't this a beautiful building?

48 Martin Place,
Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Architect: H.E Ross H. Ruskin Rowe, Ross & Rowe
Refurbishment: Johnson Pilton Walker Architects (2014 Refurbishment), Norman Disney Young
Construction: Brookfield Multiplex (refurbishment)
Architectural Style: Beaux-Arts
Built: 1925-1928
When the head office for the Government Savings Bank of Australia was built in 1928, it was Sydney’s tallest building at twelve stories in height.
It was also the most expensive building built in the city, and housed the world’s largest banking chamber.
50 Martin Place is regarded as one of the finest 20th century bank buildings in the world.
Outside was a facade with a solid red granite base, topped with four towering Ionic columns, with pilasters clad in pink-glazed ceramic tiles.
The building was crowned with a two-storey attic, and bizarrely a rooftop rifle range.
Inside on the ground level, the Grand Hall and banking chamber feature marble and scagliola on massive columns.
As part of the refurbishment, a two-storey steel dome straddles the atrium.
Designed as a fifth facade, it can be seen from higher surrounding buildings as a lantern at night.
The atrium provides for much of the lighting requirements of the renovated workplaces.
Inside the atrium are two futuristic circular glass lifts, that were awarded Elevator Project of the Year.
During the lift journey, an eight-storey high installation by artist Nick Savvas, called Colours are the Country, can be viewed.
The atrium features event spaces, conference centres, and areas for collaboration
The building is now the global headquarters of the Macquarie Bank.
The middle floors of the building provides for a workspace for around 2,000 people.
There is an iconic and colourful interior stairway that connects the different levels.
50 Martin Place has received a 6-star Green Star energy rating.
The 2014 refurbishment by JPW Architects won a National Trust Award for adaptive re-use.
An in 2015, they received Australia’s major commercial architecture award - the Sir Arthur G. Stephenson Award.

Description: View of the atrium at the Atrium Village apartment building, showing seating and planters in the common area. The building, at 300 West Hill Street, was originally part of a mixed-income housing complex built by the Chicago-Orleans Housing Corporation. Except for this nine-story apartment building, the rest of the original Atrium Village complex was demolished beginning in late 2015 to make way for high-rise redevelopment.

This is the grand atrium lobby of the Grand Hyatt Jakarta, the grand-daddy of the 5 star Jakarta hotel since its inauguration in 1991. The hotel has evolved from classic luxury to a modernist heaven by a string of refurbishment projects, only the lobby has stood against the test of time and remains as it is from its conception. It is a favourite place of mine and I'm still in awe everytime I am here.
The lobby also features its own luxury shopping arcade, named Galleria Grand Hyatt, which among others features a Richard Mille watch boutique, with haute horlogerie that costed anywhere from USD 100,000 to almost USD 1,000,000.
Nestled in the heart of San Francisco, the Fisher Atrium is a stunning example of contemporary architecture that seamlessly blends historical charm with modern design. As you step inside, you’re greeted by soaring ceilings painted in a serene sky blue, creating an airy and open atmosphere. The walls, adorned in warm peach and terracotta tones, add a touch of earthiness that grounds the space.
The atrium’s design is a masterclass in the use of natural light. Sunlight pours in from above, illuminating the space and casting dynamic shadows that shift throughout the day. This interplay of light and shadow creates a living, breathing environment that feels both timeless and ever-changing.
Architecturally, the Fisher Atrium is a nod to San Francisco’s rich history and innovative spirit. The geometric wall accents and rectangular columns echo the city’s iconic urban grid, while the balcony with its elegant railing offers a vantage point to appreciate the atrium’s grandeur. The patterned floor below adds a layer of sophistication, reminiscent of the intricate designs found in historic buildings throughout the city.
Historically, the Fisher Atrium stands as a testament to San Francisco’s evolution. It captures the essence of a city that is constantly reinventing itself, yet remains deeply rooted in its past. This space is not just a functional area but a landmark that tells the story of San Francisco’s architectural journey.
Whether you’re an architecture enthusiast or simply looking for a serene spot to reflect, the Fisher Atrium offers a unique glimpse into the soul of San Francisco. It’s a place where history and modernity coexist, creating a harmonious blend that is both inspiring and captivating.

As a side note this weekend was the first time using the Sigma 12-24mm II DG HSM - I love this lens, the angle of view at 12mm on a full frame is incredibly addictive!
