Neil M. Denari Architects (NMDA) designed a series of pre-designed habitats for Useful + Agreeable. The Useful + Agreeable house includes innovative features like aerospace grade aluminum panels, solar power, rooftop patio, rain collection, flexible floorplans, and built-in furniture to accommodate its economical use of space and energy. Not to be mistaken for pre-fabricated homes the U+A house is "pre-designed" meaning buyers from anywhere around the world can purchase and download building plans and source the materials locally.
The U+A house options range from the "mini hi-rise" (pictured, 660 sq.ft - 61 m2) to "low-rise", or "high and wide" options extending up to 1800 square feet (167 m2).
If you're interested:
The potential purchaser can communicate with Useful + Agreeable by telephone or web video link, from wherever they are in the world. Once specific sizing, zoning and other requirements are met, many materials are sourced locally, while others are shipped for assembly on site.

I am just picturing myself in a mini hi-rise on a beach in Costa Rica. What a great housing idea, i really liked the shipping container homes but this is beyond that
