housing in which residents actively
participate in the design and operation
of their own neighbourhoods."
(The Co-housing Association of the United States)

The co-housing idea originated in
Denmark and was promoted in the
United States by Architects Kathryn
McCamant and Charles Durrett, in the
early 80"s.

private, fully contained dwellings but
include common buildings and
recreation areas.
