Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Lot development model cohousing

[Mac Thomson (ganesh]

Heartwood Cohousing is very rural, but our design promotes a fairly cozy
feel, IMHO.  We're not as tightly clustered as urban projects, but the homes
are definitely close with easy opportunities for social interaction and
sight lines.  We have a combination of single (12) and duplex homes (12). We
also have both production built homes (14) and custom built homes (10) so I
guess we're considered a mixed development model.

We used Chuck Durrett (Cohousing Co) for our initial site design work and
later that design was evolved by Matt Worswick.

We have had similar concerns with using a street model in a rural setting.
We are doing a combination building & lot approach, with lots around the
green and attached, community-built housing along the street near the common
house. You can see our site plan at www.champlainvalleycohousing.org under
"Design."
