not actual shipping containers, more a variation on a theme, not exactly not-containers either tho. What interested me in this one was '£156,000 to build' (per fucking piece) info. If you knocking these out in bulk, no fugging way these cost anywhere near $200k apiece - still, tenants are 8apparently) happy, council saves 20% on average new build, everyone good. Can blame thos hipster container shooping cunts in Shoreditch for all this anayway, they all at it now, containers=meme passe. Still aint seen a buried one yet either.

The acoustic insulation must be terrible, I can already imagine not being able to sleep because a student is banging her gf 3 stories above.
Also, how can people living on the edges not die from hypothermia?

They all have "double" walls (with insulation), it was not cold or noisy.

there are such things as refrigerated shipping containers
One of those containers costs way more than to build its equivalent area from wood. WTF is the point?
Condo building in my towns made to look like trendy containers

It's a meme
It is (and can) only for hotels where people just spend a night in, where the meme would be an attraction, but would is ok because it is not permanent

For student housing they are temporary and quick to ship, quick to source and quick to build.
When a city is short on space and housing, officials place these containers on some underdeveloped property for a few years, usually in bad neighborhoods. Then in the years following a couple of students get raped by muzzies but the neighborhood improves. When the student's housing contracts expire the government can repurpuse the property (which value has increased) in the now improved neighborhood and relocate the temporary container housing to some other shitty location.

Hey nigger, would you rather be homeless or live in one of those container apartments?
Yeah, thought so.
Look pretty good to me anyway, if you're strict on who gets to stay then it could be a nice little community.

yeah, not like normal buildings have buildings in fron of their windows or you can have some kind of energy running through devices to generate light
