The one-bedroom homes are designed to be eco-friendly and are built with fiber-cement siding and corrugated metal. The homes are also furnished with a complete IKEA package that includes TUNDRA maple flooring, PAX wardrobes, and ABSTRAKT cabinets. A model of the home was on display at the Portland Home & Garden Show and each unit is expected to be priced at $79,500. See it for yourself below.
