This will reduce weight. You can fill the wall cavities with rigid insulation or spray foam (as long as you are OK with the eco-ramifications of each). If you are calculating your 9sf to include the walls (as industry standards do) this will allow more floor area as well. Instead of framing with 2×4, why not use 2×3 or 2×2? This will reduce weight.
