Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: [common house accessibility

[Ed and/or Kathryn Belzer (belzer]

Hi,

At the meetings for the Commonhouse design for Chaswood Green, we  
have now on the table a design whereby the CH will be built like a  
"hillside barn" in that the lower level will be walk out, at the  
bottom of the hill; and the upper level will also be accessible  
because the upper side of the hill allows for this side to be at  
ground level at the top of the hill.  This may work out to spare us  
the electricity load of an elevator.
