One of my clients had the exterior of their building done. The exterior has a bit of an odd look to it. In the front, the building appears to be about 2 feet behind where it actually starts. In the back, the building butts up to a hill, but is level with the ground. The hill comes down a bit, and starts several feet behind where it appears to start, but it looks as if you must step up.
The owner has a sense of humor, but I'm not sure if this was his intent or not.
