i-house: Modular Home is Green, Economical and Trendy

It’s not your father’s mobile home. The i-house combines modular construction with environmentally-friendly features and a trendy, Scandinavian-influenced design.
Clayton Homes CEO Kevin Clayton says his company gave its architects free reign to come up with the new concept. “Take it as far as you can. There are no limits. There are no boundaries. We want to see what’s possible,” he said.
The i-house costs between $100 and $130 per square foot, about half the price of a standard “stick built” home. Its energy efficient windows, insulation and appliances, which include optional solar panels on its butterfly roof, can reduce the i-house’s electric bill to $1 a day, according to the manufacturer.
The i-house gets its name from its unique shape: A long rectangular main unit with a separate “flex room” to “dot the i.” Click on the video below to watch our FOX Report.
