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’.

That 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.

Arguably all the way back to Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion house, nearly a hundred years ago.
