Container architecture is a young concept and open to aesthetic interpretation.  The slightly crumpled effect of sheet metal is called "oil-canning".  It is deemed undesirable in most applications, but I (and other designers) are of the opinion that it provides an organic, natural effect to an otherwise cold, industrial material.

Another exterior feature is the wide entry stair that is recycled from an industrial building on the island.  This view also shows the kitchen and studio balconies and the way they are tied back to the front of the building with diagonal steel struts.  The marine type lighting features compact fluorescent lamps for great longevity and excellent energy savings.
