Common House Designed

The cohousing community gathered with Chuck on the weekend of April 10 - 11 to design our common house. What a process: how does one choose whether a children's playroom or a bike stable is the higher priority? Luckily, the top dozen or so items made it, so we are all looking forward to Chuck's drawings to show us what it will look like.

What items did make it? Writing strictly from memory, our common house will have: a beautiful dining area offering meals six times per week, a gourmet kitchen, a craft room, a workshop, rumpus room (for children's boisterous play), teen room, music room,fireside lounge, laundry, bike stable, and a well-designed entry with cubbies for each family, information boards, and mail pick up.

(The quietness of the blog recently does NOT reflect quiet times at the ecovillage. Your blogger is a little busy selling her old house, but things are happening all over the place here! More new people, some returning old people, garden plots being laid out, bonfires, work parties, not to mention large construction vehicles building four new homes...it's a lively place.
