The thought of using shipping containers to build living quarters has definitely been explored and is continuously explored.
There was a similar concept for providing homeless individuals a living arrangement albeit not using shipping containers but something very close to it.
I am sure we will see sometime in the near future these concepts actually being put to practice. It would be great for the homeless and equally as nice for individuals / couples that like "small homes."
go for it.
