The Hart’s Mill architecture group gathered at our favorite local common house at Arcadia Cohousing for the next installment in the schematic design process. The Architecture Liaison group—Anthony, Joe, and Katy—are working intensively with Frank Harmon Architects on determining what the homes and common house will look like.
Factors that we are weighing and considering 
include: ways to orient the homes to the movements of sun and currents of wind to reduce energy consumption; blending one- and two-story options; crafting pathways and home arrangements to facilitate interactions with others as well as ensure privacy; organizing open areas between and around the homes for gardening and recreation; and location and layout of the common house.
We’re in 
the thick of a creative, important, and exciting process and will continue to report on what’s happening along the way.
