Studio.625 was hired to design this rural co-housing community for people who seek a modest home in a development founded on the principle of Voluntary Simplicity. Although the design will not be built, it would have featured twelve modest 1,300 square feet 3-bedroom homes, employed sustainable design practices & materials, and approached Zero Net Energy status (the buildings were designed to have put as much power into the local electrical grid as taken out in any given year). In addition to the homes, each resident would have shared ownership and use of a Community House, barn, and communal vegetable gardens on the 110-acre rural site.
