We are happy to announce that we have just released the housing feature in Forma.   With our flexible housing feature, you can swiftly populate your site with diverse range of housing types and quickly iterate on your design. This feature accommodates low-density housing developments such as row houses, single housing, and duplexes.   I would also like to thank everyone who has provided valuable feedback on the housing prototype over the past three weeks (link). We have learned a lot from this feedback and it has surely enhanced the quality of our initial release.   Please try the new feature and let us know what you think!   Best regards, The team: Ragnhild, Ensi, Vegard, Kjetil, Pål, Martin and Arne
