Although the details of such shared homes are still fuzzy, Airbnb recently participated in "House Vision, an expo that pairs designers, architects, and companies like Muji, Toyota, and Toto to build concept homes and installations that explore future living scenarios," writes Fast Co Exist, which can yield some interesting insights.
