I was not aware of this type of housing (or any cohousing groups that
have considered it) so I searched the web for info.

A search at http://www.yahoo.com/ for (with quote marks and both in one

"Avi Friedman" "Grow Home"

seemed to yield useful hits (I have not studied any yet) 

Two specific hits:
