There are quite a lot of these homes up in the NorthEast corner of AZ, I've painted a couple a dozen years ago (as barter for a couple burning man tickets) - they're cool, but you'll never see one in town because they cannot be made to meet city building code.
I understand the limitations on innovation posed by building code, but it really does keep us safe from the hazards which come from letting poorly educated or inconsiderate individuals just build whatever they want. None of us wants our house burned down or our lives threatened by a death trap our neighbors built.
