There's lots on the interwebz about them, there was a Grand Designs programme where a bloke in Ireland had one built, using old containers, looked fantastic once finished and landscaped.

And a lot cheaper overall.
If using a standard container, insulation and condensation reduction is imperative, and the Irish Grand Designs one used this: http://walltite.basf.co.uk/case-studies/grand-designs-shipping-container-house?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Grand+Designs+Case+Study&utm_content=Grand+Designs+Case+Study+CID_c8e4b99534b18ca56d4e322b4116bc42&utm_source=Email%20marketing%20campaigns&utm_term=the%20Case%20Study%20from%20our%20website&gclid=CPu01N2A0cUCFernwgod8o0A3g
