You got me excited enough to do a little googling, The best of the search is:
http://www.isbu-info.org/
It has all kinds of links and information on Inter-modal Steel Building Units (ISBU).
There was one set I saw at DRB or BB of a modular office building constructed of plain, used shipping containers in Germany or Denmark that showed the reality of constructing a workspace out of these used,
somewhat unglamorous units on an ordinary urban lot. They were stacked and interconnected with passthroughs. It is The Freitag flagship store:
"Freitag is a Swiss company that uses recycled truck tarps to create a popular line of messenger bags"
Many galleries of pix of this:

"The FREITAG SHOP ZURICH is completely built from rusty, recycled freight-containers. Lovingly they were gutted, reinforced, piled up and secured."
And a BB story:
http://www.boingboing.net/2007/10/13/shipping-containers.html
("student housing made from shipping containers in Amsterdam")
[http://www.ndsmweb.nl/images/stories/image001.jpg]
"A discussion thread on using shipping containers as housing on Making Light turned up a fantastic wealth of material on the subject (it turns out that the world's imbalance of trade with China means that most ports have mountains of abandoned containers originating in China that no one wants to ship back there)"
