Environmentalists have embraced the design, applauding the recycling inherent to Kalkin’s designs. And advocates for affordable-housing like the design, since according to Kalkin, “the total cost of a house—between $150,000 and $175,000 after the buyer settles upon the various options—works out to be between $73 and $90 per square foot, about half the cost of the conventional $200 per square foot for reasonable quality, new construction in the Northeast.”

Oh wow! In my area one can get a luxery home built on our property for $75 per sq. ft. I'm talking luxery too.

So I guess it would cost about $70000 in my state of Okla. hmmm, interesting.

These type homes would be great on a lake.
