Well no, but a knockoff of the design could probably be public domain so thousands of people could have a house in similar style ;-)
A large portion of our culture is based on the fact that there are a lot of ideas, pictures, stories, movies, songs, tie dye techniques, etc, that are public domain. Life would get pretty darn expensive if nothing was ever to be in the public domain - ever.
