Last week, Capital A Housing principal Conor Kenny spoke at the US Housing Conference and and Community Development Expo in Dallas. The panel titled Architectural Design in Affordable Housing discussed the intersection of design and development in affordable housing, and how design contributes to the success of those projects.

Speaking on nonprofit partnerships, Conor commented, “Building in partnership with established nonprofits is great because they can put together focus groups of folks from the population we want to serve. For example, domestic violence survivors who often have small children, want the soaking tub more than anything. (This way) we were able to redesign the bathrooms to add the soaking tubs and more deeply accommodate the population we are serving.”
