This is, without a doubt, the coolest pre-fabricated house ever made.

What if your house could be tailor-made for maximum energy efficiency and sustainability, right from the moment it was built? Behold the i-house — a prefabricated house that’s selling for around $100,000. The i-house is popping up in several cities around the United States, including Knoxville, Tenn.; Seattle; Sacramanto; Albuquerque; and many more.

The i-house gets its name from its floorplan. The house is divided into two parts — the main part, which is about 1,000 square feet, includes a kitchen, great room, bedroom, and bathroom. The so-called “flex room” which is detached from the main part, is like the dot in the letter i. This separate flex room includes a bathroom and adds another 300 or so square feet, and it’s topped with a rooftop deck.

So how is it sustainable? The i-house includes dual-flush toilets, bamboo flooring, decking material made of recycled content, solar panels on the roof, high-efficiency appliances, a tankless water heater, and super-efficient doors and windows. The rooftop deck comes with a butterfly roof that doubles as a rainwater collection system. Construction waste from each i-house is limited to just two garbage cans or less.

The whole thing is completely customizable, and get this — the entire house can be powered for just a dollar a day. The company that came up with the i-house, Clayton Homes, will soon include a feature on its website that lets you build your own i-house. You can even visit the factory while it’s being built.

What do you think of the i-house? Would you ever consider buying one of these? Do you think it’s reasonably priced for what it is? Personally, I’d love to take a tour of one of these homes!
