Design Development Workshop
Make your house and community truly feel like home
The Design Development Workshop is centered around practical items: hundreds of commercial products that can significantly impact your community's success. While this may seem different from our previous workshops, which focused on building a supportive, sustainable, integrated, and nurturing community, the right products are just as essential as major decisions like site planning and common house design.
Throughout the workshop, you'll discover how specific products can meet your needs and enhance the overall functionality of your community. Each carefully selected item will contribute to a welcoming environment. This workshop is also crucial for navigating the development process effectively. We focus on energy efficiency—not only through efficient heaters and windows but as a broader, holistic strategy. Our structured process will empower your group to make informed, high-quality decisions in a timely manner. With tailored recommendations based on your region and project, plus insights drawn from over 50 successful cohousing projects, you will be equipped with the knowledge needed to succeed.
Participants in the workshop, gain clarity on how to research and choose the products that will most benefit your community while staying within your budget. This intentional approach can streamline your decision-making process, allowing the group to reach solid conclusions within months rather than struggling for years like other communities, which often leads to frustration and disengagement.
Your vision for a thriving, sustainable community is within reach.
