Cohousing-L Mailing List: Cohousing kitchen requirements

[MerylD (MerylD]

Hi all:

After many years of delays South Florida is going to get its first cohousing 
community! Groundbreaking is expeced in the fall.

We are working with a local developer, who is putting all his own upfront 
money into the project. Together we are designing the cohousing kitchen and 
were wondering what appliances and sizes groups felt were important. I 
followed the recent dishwasher discussion so I know the merits of commercial 
versus residential, but what about refrigerator (is one big high-end 
residential unit enough?) and freezer (stand-alone?) and stove size (number 
of burners?) and the number of dishwashers needed if we go with the 
residential type. Cost is a big consideration.

Thanks!
