The trend in the last few decades has been to double the size of the typical American home while the size of the households has been steadily declining. As with the trend against larger gas-guzzling vehicles, there is a nascent trend towards smaller yet more efficient dwellings. Borrowing the name from the European Smart Cars, the objective is to offer to our developer clients innovative compact and intelligent "Smart apartments" that occupy a smaller and well designed footprint while giving the appearance of larger areas. These apartments should encompass green principles and should be designed to easily meet the requirements of LEED Gold Certification, as well as take advantage of innovations in newer methods and materials with an emphasis on prefabrication.
The following video is perhaps a little bit extreme of what I mean, but the concept is there; namely, that it is entirely possible to have a lot in a little space if it is well designed.
