The company I work for did all the steel work and painting to build this: https://www.gatewaycontainersales.com.au/shipping-container-wine-tasting-centre-in-ta

  I think those pictures illustrate several of the reasons you shouldn’t repurpose shipping containers into buildings. The buildings are, quite frankly, ugly. And that useless diagonal bit is really stupid. The tower for looking out over the beautiful country–side is a nice touch, but its square, blocky shape limits you to looking in four directions, making it quite inelegant. The nicest part of this project is probably the outdoor seating, and all you did there was plonk down a picnic table on some gravel. I’ve seen worse picnic tables though, so you get a few points there. I would have arranged for the courtyard to have an unobstructed view on one side, looking down the hill towards the orchard, but at least some of the tables have a view.
