It's not the format that I'm referring to but the style.

The dominant architectural style of them includes:

- Multiple boxes merged into each other at different heights and depths

- Multiple (2-3) siding materials used in a regular pattern, such as vinyl slats + brick, or smooth aluminum + brick + cement.

- Multiple colors used in a regular pattern, usually white + gray + bright-primary-color. Primary color is used in small rectangular splashes, usually below or beside alternate windows

The basic look is that of many shipping containers nestled into each other.



That's also caused by design reviews and regulation that require "breaking up massing". So you get boxes jutting out and a mishmash of cladding materials.
