Zonda, a provider of data-driven housing market solutions for the homebuilding industry, and Fischer Homes, one of the nation's largest homebuilders, unveiled an innovative 2026 Virtual Concept Home inspired by an Intentionally Designed to Live Well theme. Guided by biophilic design principles, the concept home integrates natural light, organic materials, calming color palettes, and indoor-outdoor spaces to support physical and mental well-being.
The home features two wellness-inspired retreats, one centered on holistic living and vitality, and the other on a sense of groundedness and embodied restoration and focus. "For Fischer Homes, the 2026 Virtual Concept Home gives us a chance to test bold ideas in a smart, intentional way and better understand what truly resonates with today's buyers," said Tim McMahon, CEO of Fischer Homes. "This collaboration allows us to thoughtfully evaluate how people live and what they want to see in their homes, particularly around wellness."
