The Basket Building (Ohio, United States)

The Basket Building is an interesting piece of architecture featuring heated handles that warm up during cold weather to prevent ice from forming. Providing space for 500 employees, the unofficial world's largest basket is organized around a 30,000 square foot atrium that floods the interior with natural light. This and 84 windows ensure that the least possible electricity has to be used during the day. Almost all the wood used for this construction was harvested in Hanover and then dried, milled, sawed and shaped in one mill.
