Whether residential or commercial construction, customers can present unusual requests that require your teams to go beyond thinking outside-the-box to actually bending the box and the rules of design and functionality as you know them (within safety standards, of course). So reports Archinomy.

  • And someone turned a White House inspired design on its roof at Wonderworks in Pigeon Ford, TN.
