Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Paolo’s design for the 2011 Smart Home for the Spring Portland Home & Garden show this month starts to come to life.   The Smart Home will incorporate panelized construction to pre-build much of the structure and interior components that will eventually go together much like a puzzle during the build-out at the Expo Center.  The team will have approximately 48 – 60 hours starting midnight the night of Sunday, February 20, 2011 to build the feature from start to finish.  The panelized construction will also make the re-use of the feature more feasible.  Stay tuned to learn the” afterlife” of the 2011 Smart Home.  We look forward to seeing you at the show!
