Gathering Place & Tours for Architects, City Planners, Cohousers and Developers to Set the Stage for Creating More Socially, Economically and Environmentally Sustainable Neighborhoods
(firmenpresse) - SEATTLE, WA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/06/12 -- Brought to the US from Denmark in the early 1990s by architects Katie McCamant and Chuck Durrett, cohousing brings together the value of private homes within an intentional community and sets the pace for affordable, green, and connected neighborhoods. Reflecting 20 years of building the most sustainable communities out there, the cohousing neighborhood model addresses elements of many regional plans for future housing needs, keeps people connected and reduces the use of the earth's nonrenewable resources. Sharing meals, cars, childcare, gardens and equipment makes cohousing an affordable lifestyle and decreases an individual's carbon footprint.
