“We’ve been recognized for our affordable architecture, but we never think about it as affordable architecture. We think about it as architecture that’s every bit as deserving of care as a museum or a country villa.” – Donald Powers, Founding Partner

Tune in to an insightful conversation between @unionstudioarch founder Don Powers and Peter Miller, host of the @traditionalbuildingmagazine podcast series, Building Tradition. In this recently released episode, Don shares Union’s philosophy and approach to the design of affordable housing. Put simply, with affordable housing we do not experiment, we refine. The context is what matters, and it matters most to future residents who have no voice in the design process – and who will be the most impacted by the design decisions. What they really want is to live in a place like everyone else, not in an architectural experiment.
