Cité A Docks Student Housing

Great aesthetic appeal in these repurposed cargo containers near the docks in Le Havre, France. The apartments look as though they're cargo ready to be loaded on a freighter. Quite a brilliant bit of luck to find such a fitting location.

I've seen a similar structure (PLATOON Kunsthalle Seoul) up close, and aside from the obvious 'green' appeal such buildings may have, they are also quite beautiful if you're a fan of contemporary architecture.

Designed by Cattani Architects.
