Article says they hope to bring the cost down to to $4000 from $15000. Meanwhile projects like this exist: http://www.300house.com/ http://www.300house.com/ That's $300. So what's revolutionary about $15000 or $4000 for a "cheap" home?
- proaralyst 9y agoI could be wrong but clicking through that website I got the impression the $300 house was a specification they haven't got a design for. So this could be revolutionary in that it exists.
- djtriptych 9y agoInteresting article, but odd to frame the cheapest possible house as the last word in ultra-affordable housing. Has anyone actually built one of these? Would Americans live in one?
- morganjlopes 9y agoIt is built. v1 was built in Austin,TX (sxsw) and we'll be rolling out to the developing world later this year
