As we select the victors for the Community Contests, the task becomes increasingly challenging because our community’s creativity and original thinking reach unprecedented heights.
When you explore a house crafted by one of the competitors, there are moments you find yourself staring at a particular aspect of the project and exclaiming, “wow… wait… how did they even build that??”… it’s such an exhilarating experience! ːbessie_loveː
