Also, I am a visual and tactile person so I would need you to build a mock-up of this house in advance, preferably 1:1 scale, and fully functional so I can see how it will function. If I am dissatisfied with any aspect of the house, I expect you to rebuild it from scratch, only faster since you have already had practice building it once before, so how hard could it be to build it again while incorporating my changes?

What is this, a house for ants? How am I expected to live in this? Scale it up! It's already built, so I expect it on the lot tomorrow.

Odd that no one mentioned my favorite? The house must be rebuild in the same location while I'm using it and the transition to the new house must be seamless. The garage must be rebuild with the car in it, the kitchen floor and counter top must be replaced while the dishwasher and the oven are running, I must be able to shower and stay in my tub during the bath room replacement, you must rebuild the bedroom discreetly while I'm having sex, toilets must be rebuild while in use.

  "hot-swappable toilets" was not a mental picture I expected to have today

    Let's hope they at least allow you to wait for a flush to pipe so you won't have to carry over the user's transaction.

      Zero downtime is a requirement.

  Not sure what your point is. It is called reconstruction. Also architects often need to adjust design while building is under construction. Deploying code is not comparable to what you have described.

  I imagine for a lot of businesses, if they could do this with physical space, it would be huge for them. The restaurant business is so low margin, most restaurants simply can't renovate -- even if you can afford the actual cost of renovation, unless you are already wildly successful you'll never make up the money lost for being closed for weeks, you have to fire and rehire your entire staff, and you'll piss off customers by being closed when they expect you to be open. It makes more sense to simply close the restaurant after a few years and open a new one.
