Green Roof Office Building, Istanbul

This telecommunications building in Istanbul looks quite conventional from the back: it is simply a tall wall of windows. But the front side features a simple entrance framed by a sloping green roof. Employees can exit from the door and walk right onto the roof for some much-needed outdoors relaxation.
