The image depicts an exterior view of a multi-story building under an overcast sky, located at the Building Research Establishment (BRE) site on Old Brickett Wood Lane, Garston, Watford, Hertfordshire, WD25 9XX, United Kingdom. The primary subject is a large institutional or office building, constructed with reddish-brown pre-cast concrete or brick-like panels. The structure features multiple levels, approximately five to seven floors are visible, characterized by numerous horizontal bands of rectangular windows with dark frames, some appearing reflective. The left portion of the building exhibits a terraced or stepped design, with upper sections receding, while the right portion presents a more uniform, flat facade. Minimal rooftop elements, possibly vents or equipment, are discernible against the sky on the left. The sky is largely overcast, displaying varying shades of light grey cloud cover with no direct sunlight visible. A prominent, bright, linear light streak runs diagonally from the upper left to the lower right across the image, likely a reflection on the glass surface from which the photograph was captured. Additional fainter, parallel linear streaks are present in the lower half of the image. No individuals, specific actions, or interactions are visible within the frame. The scene is static.
