boxlike
Shaped like containers
Boxlike describes something resembling a box in shape—typically rectangular, boxy, and utilitarian rather than elegant or streamlined: a boxlike apartment building, the boxlike frame of the old television set.
The word usually carries a slightly unflattering connotation, suggesting plain or graceless design.
