55. 300 sq.ft better than cardboard box
Having read some of the comments, I detect a bit of "elitism." If I had just been flooded out of my home, with no place to live, this would look like a palace. We in the west are spoiled by the amount of personal space in our dwellings. In other countries, this would be considered roomy. Just the fact that it is a solid building recommendes it over so many alternative dwellings. I have been in the tents of the nomads in Iran and they manage to live, eat and sleep whole families in quite a bit less space. It is all a matter of perspective. To me, a roof is a roof. There are children in my county that live in tiny travel trailers who would love these cottages.
