Hi, Huf Haus is actually a German company (with offices in various places around Europe). I know this because I went to look at one of their model homes here in Switzerland a while back and talked to the sales people.
Also, I didn’t really get the impression that the houses can be built on your own. We were told that they send a team of experienced builders to build the house. The price includes that cost if I remember correctly. The advantage is that since the parts are pre-assembled at their factory, building time is faster than with normal house construction.
Grand Designs, a home design/building show in the UK, followed the building of a Huf Haus last year:

Hi all can thy putup
A house in the USA?

I love it !
Is there a way to have this home built
here in the USA ?
How hard would it be to adapt solar panels
to the roof? And to make it energy-efficient?
This is just beautiful…I love it !
Great job…and my congrats to the designer!

Excellent design ,indeed. It should not be a problem to build one of those in the USA. First I wanted to go for a Huf House but then my wife found another company doing very much the same style in Germany. They already built houses in Japan. Since it’s a pre-fab as well, construction in the US shouldn’t be a problem!
As for the energy efficiency, I can only speak for the house we chose(www.davinci-haus.de). It’s got a brilliant energy-rating, with triple glazing and stuff. Should be similar in this case!
