“It’s remarkable how many people have called this last year asking for 1,000-square-foot houses,” Ms. Baxter said. “People are downsizing for their retirement homes, and even younger folks are thinking about energy costs, environmental awareness and simplicity.”

Whole Trees can keep construction costs as low as $100 a square foot, not including site preparation, if the client is willing to shop for secondhand fixtures and the like.
Very cool, but not cheap. Site prep, (land, water, sewer, foundation, driveway, utilities, etc) is usually expensive, also.

Oh, and the safety nazis will have a hemorrhage with this.
