Product Strategy & Design
Smaller homes aren’t necessarily the goal. Smarter ones are. As buyers hesitate to give up low interest rates, floor plans must work harder to deliver features consumers are willing to pay for and justify their move. This session examines how intentional layout decisions are driving affordability, perceived value, and conversion. From multigenerational options and adaptable flex spaces to storage-forward planning and high-impact indoor–outdoor flow, we’ll explore how architecture can reduce square footage without reducing appeal. Learn how leading builders are rethinking plan libraries, protecting margins through efficient design, and equipping sales teams to tell the story behind the square footage.
