As a follow up to our recent article about prefabs and tiny houses by ClearSpace Homes, I want to share this 182-square foot studio already built by the company. It’s a showroom for ClearSpace Homes, outfitted with a concealed fastener steel siding, Hardie lap siding, zero-VOC paints, strand woven bamboo floors, soy-based spray foam insulation, white modified rubber roofing, LED lighting, CFL lights, and reclaimed wood detail. The studio, which costs about $28,500, includes a built in desk, microwave, fridge, and storage.

Is this realistic? $157 a square foot for what is essentially a single bedroom with no bath and no land? For $28,500 I’d need to see a fully functional dwelling with a bath and kitchen facilities. The first thing about sustainability should be affordability.
