Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Unit mix/size

I once spent a lot of time drawing floor plans for house sharing,
and I agree with your recommendation, but I would add one other
feature: I would prefer not to have to share a refrigerator!

On house sharing - my one experience of non-family house sharing
that was successful was in a house where the other person and I
had our own bedroom, sitting room, and bathroom.

If anyone is designing a home in order to rent to strangers, I
recommend this arrangement. While having the CH for respite could
make a difference, the ability to retreat to ones own space and
not clash over getting out to work at the same time made group
living with a random person relatively stress free.
