You have to admit that having an office like that would be pretty cool.Ths US is only a few hundred years old, people have been living in europe for hundreds more. Less room for HUGE office buildings. Point being, it could be possible for companys to use old housing for office space, and it's "trendy" to do so. Not trying to crush anyone's toes in particular, but some things are getting a bit out of hand and negative for no logical reason.
