This is an either temporally or willfully ignorant statement - prefabricated housing hasn’t had to look like a boring box in decades. I’ve been involved in prefab projects where you couldn’t tell the on-site builds from the prefabs.
Also there’s an elevation rendering of the project that clearly isn’t ’a stack of shipping containers’.
- MBCook 2y agoThat was what struck me. Sure it could look like shipping containers, but that seems very uncharitable. Without plans or a render showing that’s the case I don’t know why we can’t assume it would be at least a little better looking.
