Daniel Kemp’s affordable housing work is useful because it focuses on one of architecture’s hardest tests: making homes that are practical, dignified and rooted in real community need.
The page should not only say Daniel is interested in affordable housing. It needs to show why the project matters and what kind of judgement it demonstrates.

What the project shows
Daniel is a Part II Architectural Assistant studying his Part III. He graduated with BSc and MArch (Merit) from The Scott Sutherland School at Robert Gordon University and is seeking opportunities in the UK and abroad.
His affordable housing focus gives the work a clear purpose. It points towards safe, comfortable and cost-aware living, while still needing to respond to local context, access, density, material choices and long-term use.
Why affordable housing needs clear evidence
- Show the user need, not only the housing type.
- Explain the site and community context in plain language.
- Use plans, sections and images to prove how the scheme works.
- Avoid relying on software names as a substitute for design judgement.
Submit a housing project
Architecture Social Showcase is a good place for student and graduate housing work that has a clear social, environmental or technical argument.
- Lead with the housing problem you are trying to solve.
- Show the design evidence that makes the proposal believable.
- Explain your role, tools and thinking without hiding behind jargon.
Architecture Social view
Stephen’s recruiter view is that affordable housing projects can be powerful in a portfolio, but only when the candidate shows constraints. A good practice will want to see that you understand people, budget, site and delivery pressure.
