Cohousing-L Mailing List: Manzanita Village Common House w/ Picture

[Fred H Olson (fholson]

Earlier today Jeff Zucker <jeffreyz [at] cableone.net> posted the message below
about the Manzanita Village Common House but it got the subject line:
[C-L]_Re:Coho Journal: Last Call for News items

Art Gorski <agorski [at] rice.edu> has since supplied the URL of an image 
of their Common House -- see below.

So I am posting both together with a better subject.

Manzanita Village, located in the scenic mountains of Prescott, Arizona,
recently experienced the unveiling of its permanent common house
design.  The people of Manzanita Village were thrilled to witness the
culmination of years of effort on the part of the design committee, and
the architects of Cohocom - Paul Moore, Jeff Zucker and Matt Ackerman.
The design had gone through  many permutations, as it had become obvious
over a year ago that the previous design was unaffordable, due to its
size.   Fifteen hundred square feet were eliminated, resulting in a
building design of three thousand square feet which will accommodate
most, if not all of the needs of Manzanita Village.  It will be three
stories tall, with an elevator, allowing people to transverse the height
difference between the upper road, where cars are parked, to the lower,
pedestrian road, which is lined with houses.

    The community already occupies a temporary Common House, which was
purchased and constructed by the first dozen member of Manzanita
Village.  However, as the village grows towards its ultimate size of 36
households, the temporary building is quickly becoming too small.  It is
available for purchase for anyone who would like to invest in a home in
the village, with the proceeds from its sale going towards the permanent
Common House.  A few choice lots remain available, even as construction
commences on new homes in the second phase of Manzanita Village.

For those with broadband connections, you can view a QuickTime movie 
of Manzanita Village at http://is.rice.edu/~agorski/home/manzanita.mov
[ 7 Megabytes, I think, Fred ]

The Manzanita Village website address given at the end of the movie 
is wrong.  It is http://www.manzanitavillage.com/
