Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Photos of Community Interiors

[Daniel Lindenberger (daniel]

I love this idea. I wonder if any communities would be interested in
contributing floor plans and other design details as well?

I think it would be amazing to be able to do some research at some point on
the relationships of our architecture & design, and the way that it has
shaped our community, our activities, our conflicts etc.

I'd happily contribute pictures from Windsong and try to seek images from
other Canadian cohousing projects.

Cheers,
Daniel
