Charles Durrett, a leading architect in the field of sustainable community design and cohousing, will be hosting a free public presentation on the future of this innovative housing concept, with a focus on the potential for a new cohousing community in Ramona. The event is open to the public and will take place on March 16 at 6 p.m. It will be held at the Ramona Community Center, 434 Aqua Lane in Ramona, California. Cohousing communities are custom neighborhoods that combine full, yet efficiently, designed private homes with extensive community facilities. This results in some of the most socially and environmentally sustainable neighborhoods in North America to date. The future residents are involved from the beginning of the project, acting as co-developer and co-designer, so the houses and the community, as a whole, ultimately reflect their real needs and priorities of the future residents, not those of a typical developer. Cohousing is designed to reflect the real needs, wants, and desires of the future residents in order to make their lives more economical, more practical, more social, more convenient, more healthy, more safe, more interesting, and more fun. Too many seniors need to move out of town when their house no longer fits them and too many kids who grew up in town can’t afford to move back when they are ready to start a family. Cohousing addresses these problems in the most healthful way possible. We’d like as many of the future residents as possible to be from Ramona. Charles Durrett, architect, author and advocate for affordable, socially responsible and sustainable design, has designed over 55 successful cohousing communities in California and North America including the one where he lives in Nevada City, CA. His work has been featured in Time magazine, New York Times, LA Times, San Francisco Chronicle, The Washington Post, Architecture, Architectural Record, Wall Street Journal, the Economist, and a wide variety of other publications.
