...The shell of a house is pretty cheap in the grand scheme of things...
Exactly. As far as I can tell, the defining feature of a shouse or barndominium is the shared wall with the shop, and pole framing. The shared wall will save very little, and the pole framing will cost more for every step after the framing, if you're comparing apples to apples.
