I love the house, looks pretty cool. However, it is a tight fit.

@Matt in Fort Worth, yeah 1,000 sq feet is cutting it kind of close for me too. I’m in a little over that now and already feel like I’m living in a shoe box.

Lean on the details folks. I live in Canada where there is winter, will it work? Orientation? How about all those stairs, there has to be a way to avoid that BS. What’s it made of? Has it ever been built? What does the person who lives in it think of it?

My idea is to build a well insulated core for winter with summer rooms and unheated storage connected to allow a hibernation area and room for all my junk.

Reality is what’s missing in this picture.

@LisaB, you are right – it’s only about 1,000 square feet of living space. I’m not too sure that it’s ugly though. In terms of modern design I think it holds its own. Not as chic as some of the ‘cutting edge’ designs, but also not up there with those luxurious pricetags.

In terms of design I think the thing looks kind of ugly. It also looks like it’s pretty small inside.
