What is the Infill Embrace trend?
Infill Embrace: Roughly half of the world's population lives in urban areas. Space in cities is often limited and expensive, so consumers are making the most of what's available, turning to infills designed with space-maximization and storage in mind. Urban-dwelling entrepreneurs are also embracing slim architecture and are using cutting-edge architecture and design to draw consumers and employees in.
