Cohousing-L Mailing List: Great Oak Common House plans

[Juniperjojo (Juniperjojo]

Chris,

Our architects were Katie McCamant and Chuck Durrett.  Katie did the Common 
House drawings.  Unfortunately they're not posted anywhere on our website.  I 
can probably get hold of them and fax a copy if you're really interested.  Let 
me know.

In answer to the other Tectum/soundproofing questions, regarding costs, we 
really did spend $10,000 on the Tectum as far as I know.  I'll look into it 
further but that's the number that sticks in my head.  That's certainly what we 
budgeted, though it's possible we ended up doing it for slightly less.

And as for objections about the texture, I agree that it's not the most 
beautiful stuff in the world up close.  But 10-18 feet above the floor, you 
hardly notice it.  I don't think anyone has commented negatively on our 
ceiling.  Because it is entirely trimmed out in cedar, the Tectum itself is 
hardly noticeable.
