As an AI language model, I don't have any capabilities to design a building but I can suggest some tips to design an efficient and cost-effective building:
1. Plan your space efficiently: Make sure to design a space that is functional and efficient in terms of its layout. This means optimizing the use of your available space and making it work for your needs.
2. Choose sustainable building materials: The use of sustainable and eco-friendly building materials such as timber, bamboo, or recycled building materials can help you save on costs in the long run.
3. Optimize natural light: Natural lighting will lower your energy bills and improve indoor air quality. It also provides natural warmth to the building in winter and cools it in summer.
4. Install energy-efficient heating and cooling systems: Choose a heating and cooling system that utilizes energy-efficient technologies such as programmable thermostats, solar heating, and geothermal heating systems.
5. Consider the location: Choose a location in an area that's accessible and has ample public transportation. The area should have a good infrastructure, which will save you costs such as building road access and utility connections.
6. Keep it simple: Keeping it simple with the architecture, materials, and finishes can save you significant money in designing and building the building.
7. Consider the long-term maintenance costs: Use materials that are easy to maintain and don’t require frequent replacements or repairs. This will save costs on repair and maintenance in the long run.
