I might regret this - but I love this shot, and it's pretty abstract - sorta
My new favorite lens - 12-24 DX - great clouds as the next storm approaches - so I went shooting - shirt sleeves while I shot, two hours later snow covering the ground -
PP
Hmmm - saturated blues, pushed cyans to blue, saturated those
brightened the building a little, neat image to clean up stray pixels from the saturation work, scale for web

Not really an abstract in my book. I've been accepting images to be abstracts even if I recognized the subject as long as it's not quite obvious or the angle obscures what it is. I don't feel that's the case with your image, I still primarily see an office. Of course this is just my opinion, others may disagree. As a concept this is nice, I like office building / sky reflections.
Definition 1= Art that departs significantly from natural appearances. Forms are modified or changed to varying degrees in order to emphasize certain qualities or content. Recognizable references to original appearances may be slight. The term is also used to describe art that is nonrepresentational.
Definition 2=Not realistic, though the intention is often based on an actual subject, place, or feeling. Pure abstracion can be interpreted as any art in which the depiction of real objects has been entirely discarded and whose aesthetic content is expressed in a formal pattern or structure of shapes, lines and colors. When the representation of real objects is completely absent, such art may be called non-objective.
nice angle, great lines, light nice, b&w need help, comp ok, dof nice, nice flow, overall a nice idea but not for this challenge.
