Leading designers, builders, realtors, policy makers and community members are gathering at the Build Small Live Large Summit 2015. This unique one-day housing summit, sponsored by Metro and other partners, provides information about the benefits of downsizing – from a lower cost of living to less impact on the environment. Attendees can learn what’s working, what’s new, and what’s next regarding:
- Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
- Cluster cottages and small house communities
- Emerging trends in housing
- Smart and beautiful space-efficient design ideas
- Net zero energy and water strategies
Alan Durning from Sightline Institute and tiny house pioneer Dee Williams will kick off the day with inspiring keynote presentations. The day will wrap up on an inspirational note with The Best of Small Design Slam featuring the most visionary and pioneering designers and builders in the region sharing their best designs and projects.
