Guys; I like the idea but your prices are too high. You're in the decent trailer price range. The big advantage of a shipping container is the ability to cheaply ship it.

The interior environment gets entirely sealed under closed-cell foam insulation applied directly to the metal, leaving no interior space for condensation on the metal. Literally all surfaces that you're exposed to are things we buy at home improvement stores: bamboo flooring, cabinet-grade plywood, etc. A big part of the 'deluxe' cost is the elaborate solar system: we're able to cook, heat space + water, etc. all off…

"For instance, the coatings used to make the containers durable for ocean transport also happen to contain a number of harmful chemicals, such as chromate, phosphorous, and lead-based paints. Moreover, wood floors that line the majority of shipping container buildings are infused with hazardous chemical pesticides like arsenic and chromium to…

Note that sprayed on closed cell insulation does little to nothing to mitigate many of the toxins which can be found in shipping containers including mercury - it just makes it poisonous for longer. To use them for a dwelling all wood needs to be removed and they need to be sand or water blasted down to bare metal.

Yes: toilet, shower, water heater, kitchen sink.
Where is the toilet? I assume that the big silver tub is the shower, but it's not clear where the toilet would be.

The shower is also the toilet. It's a big basin which you rinse with water. What's the real difference?
