Healthy and sustainable homes powered by AI will be a key trend in 2025, according to Jamie Gold, CKD CAPS MCCWC at Forbes. In her latest story on AI-powered home trends, leading experts predict AI will continue to redefine the way we plan, design and experience our homes. Our own Rachel Hodgdon, President and CEO, highlights a groundbreaking shift: "Homeowners will have far more power to visualize and plan for their new builds and renovations... expediting the preliminary design phase by providing tools to concretely and specifically envision their dream projects."
