Samara, an experimental product development team at Airbnb, focuses on pioneering new methods for building and sharing homes. The initiative, known as Backyard, aims to revolutionize the construction and architecture industry by integrating advanced manufacturing techniques, smart home technologies, and insights from the Airbnb community. Samara's mission is to create homes that are adaptable to the changing needs of owners and occupants over time, while also being environmentally conscious and reducing waste. The company serves a diverse range of clients, including homeowners, renters, and real estate developers, operating primarily in the residential construction market.
