I always thought take a RAFG HAS, remove the main doors, insert a mezzanine level and glaze the whole front, cut some large panoramic windows in the sides as required and they could be converted into some des-res houses.. I would imagine it wouldn't take much heating either, as it must be pretty well insulated.
Even looks good in the winter...... they weren't
