Yo I just saw a real estate listing on one of the islands near Vancouver Island for one of these. If it wasn't a million dollars and isolated from pretty much everything, I would definitely be tempted!
That's almost a selling point, albeit a painful one. You can build these for cheaper than a stick frame, if you have the physicality and time to do so. Otherwise its going to pricier.
Far less work than a conventional house - it's just that for the latter, there's a ready-made supply of specialists, so you can just replace the work cost with money.
The main pictured on looks pretty goofy, especially because of the bright green, but this sent me down a youtube rabbit hole of seeing a bunch of reallymawesome house tours.
Side note: I find 'new build ecofriendly' architecture liks this awesome, but wonder a lot about adapting existing homes which is surely the most environmentally friendly option. If you were to go all out on making an existing home solarpunk, what would that look like?
They look very cool indeed. Tailoring the design to harnes naturally available energy sources instead of relying on the grid is great. Also increasing sustainability by making it easy to service makes sense. The only thing I fear is that if everybody wants to live in a single story home, the world will be plastered with housing and there will be no more agricultural land left to produce food.
We must achieve sustainability as a society not as individuals. And while the latter is our main leverage it shouldn't actively undermine the former

I thought this was funny

The main direction for improvements from an SP perspective would probably be in the realms of
