Cohousers, Just back from the fabulous and inspiring conference! I didn't have enough power point slide shows to match the demand. If you would like one, here are the descriptions below. Note, the newest slide show is called "Getting the Work Done" and describes the Affinity Work System at Pioneer Valley cohousing. This is geared towards groups who are just about to move into their new communities, or those that are struggling with their own new systems. All of these slide shows include text to explain the images (and visa-versa). Best, Laura Laura E. Fitch, AIA, LEED Kraus-Fitch Architects, Inc. 110 Pulpit Hill Rd. Amherst, MA 01002 413-549-5799 lfitch [at] krausfitch.com Cohousing Slide Shows by Kraus-Fitch Architects The following slide shows are available on CD form for power point presentations: What is Cohousing - $5 This slide show gives prospective members and town officials an idea of what cohousing is all about. It includes lots of pictures of folks living, playing, and working in both rural and urban cohousing communities. Cohousing Site Design - $25 This slide show illustrates with many photographs the important site design issues such as distance between units, parking strategies, accessibility and pedestrian walkways. It addresses the seasonal and regional issues of snow removal, summer shade, and winter sun and even looks at the seemingly mundane issues that you will regret overlooking without proper programming. It concludes with a tour of many North American Cohousing Communities - urban and rural. Cohousing Common House Design $25 How do you create a Common House to meet all the needs of your community - and to be the "living room" of the community? Kitchens, Great Rooms, Kids Room, Laundry and much, much more are explored and illustrated with photographs from many communities. Cohousing Unit Design - $25 This slide show looks at all types of cohousing housing options - single family to apartment flats - the spaces within them, the relationships between them, and the materials that go into their construction. Customization is discussed in realistic terms. Cohousing & Sustainable Design $25 Cohousing presents a unique opportunity to build and live in more sustainable ways. This slide show looks at the big picture items, and the details without losing sight of cost effectiveness. Getting the Work Done - A case study of "Affinity Work Teams" at Pioneer Valley Cohousing - $5 What happens once you move into cohousing? How do you get the common meals cooked and the grass mowed? This slide show gives the history and descriptions of several work systems that were tried at Pioneer Valley. It then explains why we chose to develop "Affinity Teams", how we made the transition, and how this system works. Set of 6 - $80 These slide shows can be ordered by sending a check to: Kraus-Fitch Architects 110 Pulpit Hill Rd. Amherst, MA 01002
