One of my favourite references - the Lloyds Bank regional headquarters in Bristol, and the Royal Crescent in Bath. Modelling the Lloyds building on the Crescent gives a great backdrop to the public space (which is often a lot livelier than in that photo). The familiar pattern of the columns give a great clue that this is a public space, and breaks up the monotony of a standard office block.
