Trailer Parks are the traditional homes for middle class Americans. Not anymore, thanks to the emerging i-House by Clayton Homes which is classier than the Trailer Parks in the same way that the iPod is a lot classier than the record player. Clayton Homes’ i-house is the new middle class chic with the basic rectangular form and exotic bamboo floors as well as rooftop deck.

The i-House is not just a poor man’s home because they have emerged as the new energy efficient homes with the distinctive v-shaped roofline that can make it to the pages of architectural magazines. The i-House is so-called because it consists of a long core house shaped much like the letter I and a separate guestroom or office box-shaped facility that resembles the dot.

Clayton Homes CEO and President Kevin Clayton however said the i-House is more than the shape and the inadvertent reference to the iPhone and the iPod although they love what it represents. Instead, the “I” in i-house stands for integration, intelligence, inspiration and innovation.

The i-house is an economical house that’s ideal for the environmentally-conscious homeowner. It is actually a “green” house with solar panels and other energy-saving features responsible for the estimated $1 per day electricity and heating cost for the i-house located in Omaha.
