Well, the general idea of shipping container houses is that they're completely modular. You can stack them, double them up, cut them in half, etc.

This is just one firm that's using them, but there are a shit load of others out there.

Here's another under construction, and the model of what it'll eventually look like.

This is a finished house (complete with blog documenting the construction) using 9 shipping containers.

I think these guys did an awesome job for student housing in Amsterdam.

This one out of Seattle looks pretty cool, I think.

I don't like their site, but these guys do a good job of explaining the versitility of shipping containers.

ETA: and I'm totally and completely in love with this 12 container house in Maine.







(more here, but there's a very, very annoying sound I can't turn off.)

The places in Maine and LA are both pretty sweet. The others look like shipping containers to me.
