Great house, but with no solid exterior walls, where do you hang the big flatscreen tv?

Umm... on an internal wall, maybe?
Why don't they ever talk about how much it cost? Or is it one of those "If you have to ask, you can't afford it" products?

Two days to assemble. How many days to pre-build it? What about the time it took to plan it? Build a foundation? Lay in utilities?
It's a great thing, and looks great, and we need more of this. However there's usually more to it.

They're an architecture firm, not a construction company. That kind of design should be pretty easy to copy, if you want something similar. However, it would take economies of scale for such a house to actually be any cheaper than conventional construction methods.

Looks very neat.

All it needs is a greenroof & a Jacuzzi.

Exceedingly nicely done! A++
But don't tell me that the Farnswoth house or Philip Johnson's house were not inspirations for this.
So what was the program? How many square feet and what was the final cost and how long did it take to build?
Essential data is missing. Of course you used triple glazing but how about recessed thermal roller blankets for the winter.
Sometimes it is very pleasant to sit outside in the shade so one of those canvas awnings and a deck surely could have been worked into the design.
Still very excellent though.

How much did it cost to build?

Give me an option to combine the 6 with the 4 next to it to create a workshop and I want one of these so bad I can taste it.

People, if you like it, that's fine, but you need to know it's a pretty obvious imitation of Phillip Johnson's famous 1949 Glass House.
