Clayton Homes i-House

This highly publicized i-house is made by Clayton Homes, a company with a large percentage of the manufactured home market. The home has a contemporary, modern feel. The model house uses IKEA cabinets and other furnishings. The house has an open floor-plan with one living-room/kitchen and various bedroom configurations. The basic model has one bedroom. There is an optional 2nd room that is a detached, small building of its own. Or in the i-house II models, the house can have 2-4 bedrooms between the two buildings. The i-house has "green" technology such as dual-flush toilets, tankless water heater, solar panels, rain collections system via butterfly-roof, no-VOC paint, etc. The best thing about this house is probably the distribution system that might actually make it reasonable for people to have a modular house built and shipped to their home site. I think that making modular accessable and acceptable is one of the major obstacles facing us who want a modular home. I like that the home can have enough bedrooms for a family, but, since I have young children, I would like the additional bedrooms to be connected to the main house. Rather than a deck, I'd like an entryway/mudroom. The price is average for a modular house - probably a good price since it has sustainable technologies that are still expensive to retrofit into a pre-existing house.
