in an emergency. I posted this for the off-griders, who would know what to do with this, provided the eventual price point turns out to be a reasonable one. I would basically use this as a stylish off-grid hut in conjunction with solar panels for electric, an outhouse and hand transported water from nearby sources.

Since it's intended first as an emergency shelter, I'm hoping the cost will be kept low, unlike many modular designs. I posted this because I hope it will prove a successful and frugal exception, but as you, I have my doubts too.
