Subliminal Space is something you should be creeped out by because it denotes a highly artificial space that is not being maintained, or has been otherwise abandoned. It generates a feeling of imminent danger, as if everyone else ran for their lives from an unseen danger, that you are now facing alone.
But empty office space doesn't creep me out. I guess I've been on too many setup/cleanup/construction crews.
All I see is a clean space with potential.
Now, if it were a narrow hallway with flickering yellowing lights and lots of Scooby Doo doors, as per an old, abandoned mental asylum, yeah, sure.
It's not really enough for it to just be an empty office space. I think the unnerving thing about an office space is the inorganic repetition that makes it very easy to get lost in. But that also connects with the sense of abandonment and scale.
