A very cool modular building made of prefab 10' cubes. This one is in Venice, CA but more are on the way. It costs only $100 per sq foot to construct.
Some cool features: walls and doors that easy to remove and reconfigure, concrete floors heated by hot water that is warmed by the solar panels, and a garage is sodded so grass can grow, increasing the oxygen levels in the home.
The only thing I would change is find some way to tint the panels to bring in a little more color/warmth to the space. But I guess good old fashioned nature will take care of that.
This Inhabitat link has pictures of the space. Very Japanese feel. I would sooo live here.
P.S. Anyone near Venice, could you hunt this down?
