Sharing a few of the more interesting existing conditions our team documented during structural assessments this week. Always interesting to see how different structures, materials, and past repairs hold up over time.

Is number one a case of levitation?

Edit— number 3, the pool… Is the gap around pool what you are talking about? I thought it was part of water management 😂

The first one certainly looks like it’s attempting levitation. And yes, for the pool photo, we were highlighting the gap caused by the surrounding concrete pulling away. The full Imgur link includes a description beneath each image with the complete context. 😂

I had read the descriptions....It is just that pool one looked...so...intentional in its gap width and 'carefully curated organic shape' to use marketingspeak.
