Make it modular and expandable, have like a 'base house' with the kitchen, 1st bath, 1st bed, and living room then then add the ability to add Bedrooms, and Bathrooms as 'modules' -- basically a house building block system, --that would be cool.

Hivehaus[1] is a new housing concept based around a honeycomb structure with modular hexagon rooms. Relatively cheap as well.

This is a really cool idea. It would be awesome if the walls were also modular enough that you can take the glass doored walls off the original structure and put them on the new pieces you purchase.

yeah definitely -- you could even potentially pick which wall to slide the 'window panels' into, so you could move your windows to a different wall entirely.
