6040 House by LaMiDesign

Greg La Vardera’s 6040 House (that’s 60 feet by 40 feet) is framed in steel—EcoSteel, to be exact, “an energy efficient construction technology” that’s also recyclable. The pre-engineered house offers solar and wind power options, as well as a rainwater harvesting system and off-grid toilets. With shipping possible from 13 points in the US, the distribution network is pretty widespread—and for a limited time, shipping won’t cost you a thing. $198,500 USD.
