1. Hey, that's

actually pretty cool. :)

How much $$ is 55,000 euros? And where would you find somewhere to put it?

3. About $47,000

And if the cost could come down to less than half, it would make a good alternative to trailers, especially in hilly or mountainous areas like Eastern Kentucky or West Virgina.

4. I came out with about $67,000

Those are very nifty house-cubes!

6. You're Right

In that case, the price would have to come down to a third or less to make it feasible/attractive as housing in the US. Not impossible, but it would also take a major ad campaign to overcome the prejudice of the people toward manufactured housing: trailers and the Lustron are prime examples.

2. I so want one!

I would live in one in a second. :-)

5. Where is the pottie?

Three floors down and to the left, at the other end of the hall?

7. You must not be familiar with Le Corbusier.

This pioneer modernist icluded roodtop living in most of his houses.

In fact one of his great villas, the Villa Savoye, was all about living on the roof:

8. Cooll!!! Not only would I want one but

it is far more affordable than most housing in my area.
