First of all, anything that isn’t going to look good. No point in spoiling a nice building with something unsuitable and/or naff.
Leaving taste aside, most things we turn down on a technical basis are because some bright spark has cobbled together a ‘concept’ which ignores the laws of gravity. They’ve then sold the idea to their client without calling us to check whether it’s actually do-able! Architects are particularly good at this…
Apart from that, in an entirely irrational way:-
- Flower arches/ Instagram walls:
Have some pride, stand out from the crowd. Be the only beauty salon / tea-shop / hairdresser / nail bar / spa in your street without one! - Weddings:
