Home ownership—long considered a cornerstone of the American Dream—is evolving. As housing needs change and affordability challenges persist, The Picket Fence concept home emerges as a pioneering solution. This innovative project redefines attainable housing, offering unparalleled flexibility to adapt to the changing contours of modern life.

The Picket Fence is more than just a living space—it's a response to the shifting needs and aspirations of a new generation. By seamlessly blending affordability with adaptability, this concept home presents a fresh vision of the American Dream, one that prioritizes financial accessibility without compromising on quality or functionality.

This revolutionary approach to housing design didn't emerge in a vacuum. The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 served as a catalyst, prompting a collective reassessment of what we truly need from our homes. The America at Home Study, conducted during this pivotal time, captured the evolving American mindset and accelerated our rethinking of domestic spaces.

REBOOTING THE
AMERICAN DREAM

Our second concept home designed using insights from the America at Home Study, The Picket Fence supports wellness in every sense of the word — physical, emotional, financial — and built using the latest advances in modular construction.

ONE FOOTPRINT. MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY.

At three stories, with a flexible ADU at ground level and a two-story primary residence situated above, The Picket Fence signals a shift in what discerning, savvy residents are looking for — a space that can respond to the changing contours of their lives — and a model for closing the attainable housing gap in the United States.

A smarter starter home.

For the Trail Blazers—a forward-thinking segment of the Millennial generation—The Picket Fence offers a smarter way to live:

- A right-sized home, with flex spaces for a home office, gym, meditation space, or nursery

- Energy-efficient and tech-enabled design make it affordable to maintain and easy to operate

- The ultimate flexibility of an ADU, which may start as additional rental income but shift to intergenerational living for grandparents when a new baby arrives

BLUEPRINT FOR
LIVING WELL

Trail Blazers seek homes that balance security, comfort, and flexibility. They value energy-efficient features, versatile spaces, and designs that foster both social connections and personal downtime. For Trail Blazers, a home isn't just shelter—it's a hub for health, family bonding, and rejuvenation.

Modular makes it possible.

With housing ranking as the least-evolved industry in the United States (citation needed), new-home construction is ripe for innovation.

The Picket Fence used a modern method of off-site construction called volumetric modular, which consistently delivers higher quality homes faster, safer, and with less environmental impact than typical construction.

The Picket Fence serves as a prototype for future developments, demonstrating how innovative design and construction methods can create more attainable, sustainable, and livable homes for the next generation of homeowners and renters.
