This huge cargo container hotel building seems like it missed a critical opportunity to express the basis of its construction in its final aesthetic appearance. The outside, once covered, resembles another dull stucco-and-brick hotel like any other. The insides are far more interesting - each shipping container was pre-fitted with drywall, bathrooms and other basics before being shipped to the United Kingdom for assembly after being constructed in China. While this design does open up new possibilities for quick-constructed temporary festival and event housing it could be more expressive of its origins on its surface. (Source)
