Dattner Architects’ Associate Principal Rachel Ehrlich will join the Zak World of Façades NYC conference to discuss Creative Design Solutions in affordable housing projects. The panel discussion will explore the critical role of the building envelope in affordable housing—examining how budget constraints shape architectural decisions, from material selection to design configurations, and how these choices can affect the overall success of a development. Moderated by Brian Loughlin, other leaders on the panel include Carla Swickerath, Dylan Baker‑Rice and Sara Tsiropinas who will be speaking about their experience and projects relevant to facades construction.
Rachel specializes in affordable, supportive, and senior housing and is passionate about creating vibrant, livable neighborhoods that promote social equity by providing well-designed, sustainable homes for people of all income levels. During the panel, she will present Santaella Gardens project as a case study. For more info on the 249-unit mixed-used Passive House development, see this link.
