I arrived in my office vs I arrived at my office

These are both correct phrases, but the contexts in which they're used are somewhat different. 'I arrived at my office' is the more common and natural way to express reaching your workplace. 'I arrived in my office' could be used to emphasize being physically inside the office space.
