The home design company aims to reimagine the way we build our residential spaces to create alternative options. The Danish architect, Bjarke Ingels, addresses the discrepancies between housing prices and the quality of housing. While house prices have increased exponentially, the quality has lowered. Based in Silicon Valley, the company offers [modular and modern housing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vettel-haus) to counteract the housing market's current climate. Residents will also have the opportunity to co-design spaces that are tailored to their specific needs. Nabr will build its homes from a series of [modular elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muji-muji-55) that can be assembled to create various home styles. Modularity will therefore be used as a force to maximize [housing diversity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-housing-prototype) in an economically friendly way.
