When not ask them? Nice people. They do a standard house but because of it's versatility they don't want people to think they are just factory building look a like boxes. The ground works for the houses are really simple.

When I've read about using containers for making a house, it's always been specified that old refrigerated containers be used, because they start off being fully insulated. I like the idea of having one as the 'living room', with the entire front of the container cut away, hinged at the bottom, with some sort of lift mechanism, and fully glazed behind, allowing the original steel 'wall' to be raised to secure the building. Perhaps having the entire outside clad in scorched Japanese larch, to weatherproof the steel.
All I need is the lottery win and the land to build it on...
