The wraparound balcony is mall-like but the idea of a 2+ floor open space isn't inherently un-office-like. If it were just a loft/walkway along one wall with a staircase leading to it I think it would work.

I'd nix the skylight, I think that's what's really killing it for me. No 2-story professional building is going to have a massive atrium skylight. If this is more than a 2 story building and you're just on an upper-level atrium, still nix the skylight. High rises have too much HVAC and shit on the roof for that.
Also, is that partition wall near the staircase meant to be the location of a reception desk? That should not be right next to the stairs. Stairs shouldn't just drop down into the middle of the room like that at all really
