cohousing design

I recently wandered through Cornerstone Cohousing… a sweet little community tucked into a dense North Cambridge (Mass.) neighborhood, next to the main bike path and across the street from a park. Nice spot!

I just muse at how most of the newly built cohousing communities that I’ve been to (maybe 5-8) look almost the same! I wonder why… maybe they’ve figured out the best possible design and just keep using it… maybe there’s a standard look and feel to what cohousers want... maybe there are just a few cohousing designers… or maybe that’s just what I’m seeing!
