This is the 3D view of the final design. The I beams go around the inside corners between the first and second floor to keep it from falling or moving.
Mya: I like the color of the house and the two balconies, but I don't think it is convenient to either walk outside or upstairs to get to the other side of the house.

It looks nice for the 3rd container on the top, but I do not see the reason behind it. I would aslo look at the placement of your rooms. I do like your porch things on the tops of the containers. -Nicholas Stem
While I appreciate the concept of folding a container and using it to create a square room, i do not agree with a kitchen on the second floor. One has to lug groceries up and down a spiral stair up and down and up and down it seems tiresome. Also not to mention that the appliances must get up there some how. I love the color scheme.

Lynn-Interesting use of containers. I like that you cut the containers in half to create more space width-wise since most containers are so long in length. One main question I have is how water is going to drain off the roof since from what I can tell it is flat?
very symmetrical, however it does make it a little redundant to have more than one porch, and it would be a little inconvenient to have to get to one room from another through having to go outside.
It looks like a very luxurious home, but there is only one bedroom here, and it has little room. Perhaps you could steal some square-footage from your massive kitchen to fix that issue.

Dearest Mark,
This is a rather interesting and attractive design, I feel you used your floor space inefficiently.
Love,
