I used to live in the Pacific Northwest, high on a hill in a maritime community.  And down the winding — but at least paved — route down to the main road, there were these charming little cottages, built by a company called Cottage Werks. These eco-friendly little gems featured custom site placement near environmentally sensitive areas, and if you weren’t paying attention, they could blend right into the scenery.  They didn’t have a lot in the way of square footage, but they were well-featured and priced like homes twice their size.

All that being said, I can’t be shocked that Forbes has an article about downsized luxury homes. Nor, that it features developers in the Puget Sound region.

Is Vegas ready for these micro-homes?  Around here something that size is a “casita” off the main house!  But then again, we did just convert our Hummer dealer into a Smart Car dealership, so anything is possible.
