A tight residential housing market underscores the need for a wide breadth of smart, accessible, sustainable, and high-performing multifamily projects. As the demand and desire for distinctive multifamily housing continues to expand, architects and designers are incorporating innovative practices, strategies, and material trends to create spaces that rise to the occasion both here and abroad. The Multifamily Housing Academy puts the spotlight on multifamily housing projects—from affordable and inclusive to high-end luxury, while also addressing aesthetics, labor, community, sustainability, resiliency, and connectivity.
