San Francisco-based architecture firm Group 41 will provide $10,000 worth of design services to those who 1. own some open land and 2. want to live in a home fashioned out of recycled shipping containers. The sustainable container home itself along with schematic and design development come free of charge, and construction documents, permitting/bidding, and construction phases are priced at cost.

Yeah, until you get to the building permit part -- at least in most of this country [US]...
That reminds me very much of the Freitag tower in Zurich: http://www.flickr.com/photos/toniphotos/168387404/
I'd so do this if I had the land :D
