Another thing to consider is that all shipping containers are not created equal. One thing I discovered was that a lot of shipping containers have held toxic chemicals at some point in their career, with the possibility of spills having soaked into the floor, so they need to be pressure-washed, and then the floor sealed and covered with some impervious flooring. Aesthetics isn't much of a consideration in that particular location, at least not nearly as much of a consideration as practicality.
All building materials would have to be shipped in, and after considering that for a while, it occurred to me that it made sense to use the containers rather than just shipping stuff in them and discarding them. The reason is that I hope to eventually move to a small village in Alaska which is accessed only by air or by shipping stuff in in barges. I've been doing quite a bit of research on using shipping containers for housing.
