Common House Design

Your common house will be the place you spend the most time together as a community in both large and small groups. You will want the space to meet both the particular needs of your initial members and the changing needs of future residents over many decades to come. The challenge of balancing versatility, function, size and cost calls for an experienced cohousing professional. The process will go best if community members have visited several cohousing communities, toured the common houses and talked to the people who live there about what they like and what they don’t like.

We’ve begun building this page of our website. If you have information to contribute, please contact karincohous@gmail.com

 

Cohousing.org is an ever-evolving, community supported website. If you see information that is missing or inaccurate, we welcome your suggestions. CohoUS aims to be inclusive of a wide variety of perspectives and approaches to cohousing and to to provide clear, concise information.  To balance inclusivity and clarity, content above is curated for  usability. Blog posts below are much less curated. All cohousers are invited to submit articles, stories and resources to our blog.
