Isn’t it a little odd for the Illy Cafe to have an exposed toilet (picture 2, center left)?

in the netherlands, containers are used to house students in the larger cities, where there is a great lack of housing. They build in windows, stack the lot together and you have reasonable luxury for a student. One container contains a small kitchen, a small bathroom and a living/bedroom.

search for “containerwoningen Amsterdam” in google.

I want one.
I was poor once and put a board over my bath to use as a dining table then a matress on top for a bed, then reversed the procedure the next morning to take my bath.

I love the concept of putting unexpected things in standardized containers of different types. It’s just so practical, since there is an extensive industry in place for shipping them.
Google makes shipping containers with a fully fledged server park in them, with a standardized interface, so that they can easily just ship out a server container to where they need it, and there they just have to connect it to power and networking, and it’s set. So much easier than stowing large amounts of computers for shipping, then when they arrive unpack everything, connect it together and so on.
