Resident participation in the design of an ecovillage and the cohousing community is common in some communities.

Residents participate in the design of  the private units and in some of the other aspects of the community.

Design professionals get it right for you--just the way you want it. They help your community decide the best uses of your site and other resources.

We think the best communities are those in which the houses are designed by the residents for their own use. Since the houses must offer privacy for all, there will always be some guidelines that need to be followed. 

It is important that the community be enough alike in style that individuals wanting or needing to sell in future times can find a buyer. 

In all communities, but particularly in a rural community with no particular zoning, it is important to have an architectural  control committee. For example, there can't be an earthship next to a mobile home next to a straw bale home next to a typical suburban home, etc. 

This does not mean that people can not have individual floor plans,

Does this interest you?
