Small? That's what 2 dTons looks like. I.e. Middle passage.

Not sure any more what a dton equals in cubic meters. I've been using the GT English 500 cubic feet per dton for too long.

The article states the floorspace of a unit as 104 square feet. While it doesn't give a height measurement, the overhead looks quite low. So I'm thinking it's probably actually a bit less than two full dtons. But then, that "wastage" probably goes into access space, anyway.

I wonder if maybe the architect was into sci-fi?

The building itself could be imagined as a space station, or even a spaceship.

Unstreamlined, of course.
