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.

  • Enter Germany’s Forest Spiral, a residential complex of 12 floors and 105 units for professionals and families.
  • Longaberger basket company took it’s product to new heights with the “Basket Building” located in Newark, Ohio.
  • Step into a dwelling suited for the cast of Lord of the Rings in France’s Ferdinand Cheval Palace, which was supposedly inspired by the shape of a stone and took 33 years to build.
  • And someone turned a White House inspired design on its roof at Wonderworks in Pigeon Ford, TN.
