Considering how architectural design shapes the dignity and durability of affordable housing.
Susan King, Sector Leader at HED, joined Victor Menasce on The Real Estate Espresso Podcast to examine the role architecture plays in affordable housing. The podcast, which typically approaches the built environment through an investment and development lens, turned its attention to the human stakes embedded in design decisions. Susan spoke about the responsibility architects carry in creating housing that is financially viable, socially grounded, and built to last. Her perspective situates affordability not as a constraint, but as a framework for thoughtful, performance-driven design that strengthens communities over time.
