Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Impact of Covid-19 on Common House design

[Bob Morrison (rhmorrison]

  I think the current pandemic will be over by the time your CH is up and 
running, but I think there is a high risk that we will have another pandemic in 
a few years and that cohos that are in the design phase should design their CHs 
to handle this. I think the most important thing is to design in more space 
than you think you will need in all the important areas: Mailroom (if you have 
indoor mailboxes, which I think you should have if possible), living room, 
laundry room, and great room. Here at Mosaic Commons, crowding in these rooms 
was a problem before the pandemic hit and is a bigger problem (except in the 
GR, because we aren't having gatherings) now.
