my inclination is to go with the way meier handled the first two towers, let the client determine their needs. this could be carried to the extreme by offering the container "as is" with the exception of cutting a hole and installing the sliding glass window/door egress. on the other hand, lets take as an example a dwelling made by clustering three 20' containers. two of the containers would remain unaltered inside and the third would include "off the shelf" mechanical features ie : galley (or efficiency) kitchen (sink, fridge, cook top, counter and cabinets), say aprox 10 running feet against one wall. ultimately a joined 4' x 4' (foootprint) lav (sink/toilet) and a 4' x 4' shower built-in at the non-windowed end (but those i consider luxuries). i should scan some cocktail napkin sketches for you.
i would only add furniture at this point. tatami mats and futons for sleeping in one container. clean lined table and chairs for eating and social gathering, clean lined daybed for social gathering. some modular storage. thats about it.
Very minimal. I like the idea of "clustering." you could create a nice interior outside space depending on how you postion them against each other.
