First time I noticed this while visiting a park building for a company sponsored employee family photo shoot.
The flooring appears to be vinyl? And it appears they layed out extra length than what would span the floorspace and rolled/bent that up along bottom of walls to serve as a replacement for sanitary wall base or traditional baseboard.
What is interesting is that this building is not industrial, is actually an old Victorian? era home partly restored and updated for modern living and used as a event center in the park. By partly restored, I meant to say I noticed that some of the exterior walls and roof edges were rotting. But the inside was remodeled nicely. The flooring in the photo is the only thing that I noticed that seemed strange in terms of remodelling the inside.
While unconventional, it is an interesting design choice to me still. Though I suppose if water leaked/dripped on wall, it could then go into the floor below the vinyl the way its done here. But on the other hand, with this design, no water can seep into wall or floor from the intersection of the wall and the floor (sanitary wall base and baseboard still leaves a very small gap whether you caulk that or not, though baseboard does absorb some of the water).
