Dear teachers,
Could you please explain the meaning of the first sentence?

Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart disigns.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you in advance.

I think it's a reference to 'smart buildings', where technology controls the building in a user-friendly manner, as opposed to buildings that might look good, but aren't so controllable.;-)
