Plywood and CNC - I've designed a few furniture pieces and really loved the process. How about the production of the plywood itself? Producing plywood seems to involve so many extra steps instead of just using just wood, or even branches in building and furniture. Stone, wood and earth and organic material right from the place where a house is built often work well enough in rural areas. For cities this system could be neat.

Plywood has been around for thousands of years, and its modern form for 150ish. You get a lot of bang for your buck with plywood because you can use relatively poor quality lumber to make it just fine. Without the dimensional stability and reliability of plywood, I don't know if a modular system could work well enough.

This is super cool! I kind of want some time importing it into Sweet Home 3D!

I really like these. I also love the idea of modular design, I would love especially to see modular solutions for pluming and electricity, that provide solutions for cleaning and maintenance.
One of my main reaction to these houses is: what about the foundations? That's usually the most important aspect about durability.
Foundations could be done in stone, concrete, metal or even sit on trailers.
