A city building, you experience when you walk; a suburban building, you experience when you drive.

I wanted to improve the suburban office building; to create a great urban space in a suburban environment with all that implies about interaction, collaboration and creativity.

I've never looked at a suburban building as being a minor building and an urban building as being a major building.
