100K House

Here’s a great blog about a small firm in Phillie who are designing and building a house to come in at less than 100K in construction costs that will be LEED certified.  The house is 1000 sf.  Its a terrific idea and the site is filled with interesting tidbits, like this discussion about how many square feet are really needed, why square feet per person has grown so much since the 1950s, and how people get by with less; and this one which discusses passive cooling and other techniques, and whether a house in Philadelphia really needs an A/C system.  I look forward to perusing this site at length.
