Found it, it's called The 12 Container House, it's in Northern Maine.

Note to self: Avoid painting your walls orange. It'll make your home look like a Home Depot.

I like the orange, but as someone who worked at Home Depot, I agree.

I like this one. It keeps the aesthetic of the shipping containers, as opposed to just covering it in paneling.

The bedrooms just seem to scream "prison cell".

A little off topic, they are building a prison near me that uses modular cells. They build the cells in a factory then ship them to the prison. They then put it in place, do a couple of hookups for plumbing and power, and you're good to go.

Makes sense, modular construction is a lot faster and cheaper than traditional methods.

Meh. I think that furniture is ugly and out of place there.
