PODCAST EP 044- CRENALATOR & Your Custom Home
Crenalator
In today's episode, JD will discuss architecture and how it comes to life through mental constructs. Compromise is often necessary for less attractive ways when working through design challenges, and there is no villain in real-life architecture. To illustrate this point, JD created a character in the game called Crenalator. This living castle adds unnecessary features to buildings, which is the opposite of our goal to turn your story and desires into a meaningful and useful design that benefits you and your loved ones. Please stay tuned for more as JD talks about his Crenalator idea and much more.

● Crenalator and how it came to be
