One of the exhibits at the Casa FOA interior design exhibition in Buenos Aires in Argentina was based on a shipping container. The design blends reused wood and leather along with solar panels and LED lights to make living space that is both green and stylish. More pictures and information in Spanish here and in English here.
I'm not sure if there are any plans to take this design beyond an exhibit. Perhaps someone who speaks Spanish could fill in some details in the comments.

What else to say...it's
What else to say...it's great! Modern and simple stuff doesn't necessarily need to be expensive. I am in the process of make-your-own, currently gathering information on shipping container houses and housing (found great ebook http://steelhouseplan.com/) and hopefully will be able to document all on my website.
