This is a style of photography that I really enjoy looking at. 

I do think it seems a bit heavy on the right hand side, tough.

Interesting composition. I don't see a heaviness on the right. I like the two wires crossing the image serving as a mini frame-top arresting the eyes from shooting off the top.

I like it.
Very much, in fact.

Ditto to the earlier accolades. The thumbnail really doesn't do your photo justice.

Yeah, and so do I.

One gripe: for myself, I'd try to put in a very little bit of almost pure white to break the monotone that deadens it a bit in my eyes (but then again, I do have glaucoma...). Overall monotone is cool, but it needs a kicker to make it look intentionally flat. I think!

That's one of the things constantly missing in living in the sticks: structural height.

I agree with louoates about liking the balance and the two spanning lines.

I may not understand the light at the base of the furtherest glass wall.  However, if the rest of the wall was once as glossy and contrasty as the part over the central roof, then it might provide more of the bright counter point Rob C. is looking for.  That reflective patch is already  quite effective.
Which isn't to say I would know how to go about selecting it, but if you can make a picture this good...
