Regional building in SW USA

I agree with josefow: since much of the housing growth in the US is in the SW region, we should focus our efforts on a designing a house for climate conditions of that region.

We could argue on and on about different types of houses for different types of climate conditions, and while those arguments would hold merit, I think they would complicate this process unecesarily.

Another question to consider: Are we building a house for a small family? A couple? A single person? Do we want to limit the scope of the project in such a way?

Personally I think its a good idea to define a target market...$10K isn't a lot to work with so I don't think there will be much flexibility in design. Do you find this valuable?
