Designing Community-Enhanced Neighborhoods: The Architecture of Cohousing


  • McCamant & Durrett Architects 241B COMMERCIAL STREET NEVADA CITY United States (map)

An Antioch University Professional Development Certificate
With Charles Durrett, Architect Emeritus AIA

With this class, Charles Durrett will impart his wisdom and knowledge from designing over 55 cohousing communities in North America (and probably more than anyone in the world) to give every cohousing designer a leg up if you’re going to design a new cohousing community and want a high-quality, high-functioning cohousing community.

LIVE Webinar Series / 4-weeks / $250
Wednesdays June 7 - 28, 2023
9:30 am - 11:30 am (Pacific Time) / 12:30 pm - 2:20 pm (Eastern Time)

In North America, too many cohousing projects fall short of the potential of a healthy community that fires on all cylinders. This can be due to many factors, from as big as the site plan of the whole community to seemingly small but key details that provide the right acoustics either between the houses or to prevent too much noise in the common house.

This class will also be utilizing his latest book, Cohousing Community: Designing for High-Functioning Neighborhood, as the main text of the class. This book is chock-full of more than 100 case studies, and all of the lessons learned from the good ones—giving readers a perfect point of departure and setting them up for success when they create their own communities, while still leaving it up to the creativity of the designer and their ability to understand the subculture of the group.
