Site design Backwards buildings

[Planit]

I saw this on another post & immediately thought how could this happen? The contractor, inspectors, survey crew all this was good until the walls went all the way up. I'm sure there'll be a lawsuit filled somewhere, sometime...

...& no this is not in my hometown or town.

Backwards buildings are common in places where the powers that be don’t care about the public realm. Pad sites where the front of a building faces inward towards a larger parking lot, rather than the street, aren’t that uncommon. Formula architecture buildings that are sideways are more common.

Las Crices, New Mexico has a Walmart where the loading docks and service areas face the street, and the entrance and facade face the rear.
