I've seen that photo of Windsong so many times - the covered atrium. Can someone comment on the acoustics of that space? It seems like it would be noisy?

It is, indeed, so heartwarming to witness all these early cohos now having milestone anniversaries. Takoma Village celebrated #20 in Covid year 2020. These examples should serve as guide posts for us whether we are just forming, building or moved-in. Windsong is so beautiful. Joani Blank, one of cohousing’s great movers n’ shakers who has passed on, and I visited there in 1996 shortly after the community moved in. Their CH kitchen wasn’t yet completed so they brought their potluck contribution, place settings, etc. with them to common dinner then took everything home to clean up. I wonder how many of us did that in the beginning? This article references the Jystrup Savvaerk Cohousing community in Denmark as also having these enclosed “streets.” Fred along w a number of us visited this community in Denmark in1999 as one of the stops by a group of us eager to learn about cohousing in the Danish Motherland. Congratulations, Windsong! A beautiful community which stands as a tribute to all cohousing. Best — Ann Zabaldo Takoma Village Cohousing Washington, DC Ex. Dir. & Mbr.
