I think there is a bit of difference between someone building a house with known off the shelf proven technologies and researchers engineering something completely new. If this was truly engineering new technologies, it would have cost 10's of millions of dollars or more. I suspect this is student project involved dozens of researchers working together with both proven and prototype technologies to build a one off deliverable. I'm sure if someone actually built a whole development of these houses the cost would be reasonable, but still higher than a normal home.
