Project Overview:

Intergenerational cohousing, which includes people of all ages and different house hold types, can address the isolation that some may feel in fragmented communities because of single-family homes. Cohousing communities have been developed in urban and rural sites that promote individual privacy with the benefits of neighborhood amenities, specifically zones pertaining to program and use that accommodate their current and future needs.  An urban approach with overlapping zones of access carved and sculpted into a sloping landscape defines a spatial order of different qualities encourages use and community interaction.  Also, building design supports usage within these zones of access through circulation and views between communal and private spaces to achieve strong socially integrated community.
