    Love this. I hope it's real. Not enough places doing fun interesting designs anymore. I miss company buildings having an aesthetic instead of generic minimalist.

    Bring back the snack shacks shaped like oranges and other whimsical things!

    When it’s super windy someone has to go up and fold the corners together to keep it shut.

    You can see 4 downspouts on the right side of the building.

    Dang, they are down a lot further than I assumed, indicating all four sides are like giant sails when the wind picks up.

    I mean likely yeah. Flat and low angle roofs do often have issues with leakage.

    Finally architecture that's not here just because pretty.

    I mean, its still just here because it’s pretty, lol. It’s clever too, but it’s not like there’s any functional reason to look like that

    I personally think it is somewhat functional in that it acts as a signifier as to the purpose of the building. Also makes it stand out so potential customers are more likely to consider them. Sort of a giant billboard of sorts, assuming it's along a somewhat busy road.

    Yeah I feel like labeling the building as fragile isn't doing them any favors lol

    Storage places real have fun with their buildings more than other businesses. One near me is shaped like a colosseum, and they are building an addition to match. I love it, it’s excellent. Let ‘em cook!

    I wonder if this would count as novelty architecture. Its shaped like what its advertising but its not exactly an abnormal shape for a building.

    It’d be cool if the employees working there had their uniform resemble packing peanuts in any way

    Well the Dutch word for Box is Doos. And that word is sometimes used by people to describe a certain body part of a woman.

    You know…

    Box is slang for the same thing in English.
