newcrasher, I thought you might like to look over a couple of alternative housing style websites. Dwell magazine is my favorite source for modern/green housing ideas.
Rocio Romero is an innovative designer of pre-fab steel frame homes, and her designs are very similar to what you are describing.
Michelle Kaufman also designs steel pre-fab homes.
There are lots of great ideas on these pages for architecture and interior design. I have been working on converting a modular home to a modern, industrial style for the past year, starting from the inside out. If you are interested in pics or details, message or e-mail me. I will be happy to share some building ideas with you, including cost and such.

I am really liking the Romero houses! THANKS!
I don’t have my heart set on steel. Other materials probably make a lot more sense!
