Among its green features include a butterfly roof designed for a rainwater catchment system or optional solar PV system, dual-flush toilets, bamboo flooring, energy-efficient windows, [Ikea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevate-tiny-home) fixtures, and decking made from [recycled material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whidbey-puzzle-prefab).

The I-Home is named for its layout, which resembles the letter I. There’s even a flex room that features a rooftop deck. The I-Home is rumored to be initially priced around $100,000, but final pricing will be determined by Clayton Homes after they complete their pricing research.
