In contrast to simulated stacking, this budget hotel in West London is a real stack of real boxes. The 120 individual rooms are prefabricated steel boxes, fully equipped with bathrooms, electrical wiring, and painted walls (though not furniture). Made in Shenzhen, China, they were transported to Britain by container ship, trucked to the site, and hoisted into place. In this kind of construction, the boxes do support one another—no additional structure is required—but unlike its high-design counterparts, this building doesn't shimmy and shake. Nor does it dramatize the stacking technique; the completed pile of boxes was wrapped with conventional—and rather banal—steel facades.
