Cohousing-L Mailing List: site design.

[Gary Kent (garykent]

Our group has just initiated the design process and we are addressing the
challenge of hiring professionals. Some members of our committee, notably
two landscape architects, are of the opinion that it is not absolutely
necessary to hire experienced cohousing designers, that a good architectural
group who has worked with co-ops for example would be perfectly adequate.

On the other hand there are few of us who feel that it is imperative that
the person /persons we hire has a good understanding of cohousing design
principles (commonhouse location, parking, house placement etc) as well as
an ability to interpret our group's unique needs and values. A big challenge
I am sure.

We would appreciate any pearls of wisdom on this subject.

Thanks,
Gary Kent
