Cohousing-L Mailing List: Middle units Dark or Not

[Robert Finn (finn]

At Pleasant Hill Cohousing (Chuck Durrett, architect), the middle units 
have lots of light. In addition to skylights in each unit and high 
ceilings, Chuck designed an opening between the first and second floors 
near the staircase and right under the skylight. That lets light flow down 
to the first floor.

An added bonus of middle units, especially here where we have lots of 
passive heating and cooling features designed in, is that they tend to stay 
cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter than the end units.
