Intentional Communities
Intentional Communities
The following projects are designed as intentional communities. These projects place emphasis on bringing a portion of future residents together before any buildings are constructed so that they can form a social community and influence the planning and design of their future community.
Cohousing is one form of intentional community (East Lake Commons and Lake Claire Cohousing) though a Village-Conservation Community can also be an intentional community that brings future residents and surrounding neighbors together around preservation and connection to the land – natural habitats and farms/gardens.
