> a 560 sf ft house is much more "dense" than a 2,000 sq ft house I agree with you totally on the principle behind that, but a very higher end tiny house is still usually only $300/sf. I think that this ADU is priced for someone looking for nearly instant gratification with high-end-design and materials for a second dwelling on land they already own - which is what the marketing photos depict - and not for someone in the market for a primary residence. The customer for this isn't like most of us who seek to value-maximize their housing, but rather someone for whom the cost of this thing is pretty marginal compared to their overall wealth. That is a very niche market, definitely far narrower than Dwell's subscriber base. Furthermore, at what is likely at least 50% profit margin on these, they don't have to sell many to do quite well, as long as they can deliver a very high quality product on time with minimal hassle to their well heeled customers.
