Completed in 1994, Pioneer Valley Cohousing is the first cohousing community in the eastern United States. The 32 homes and common house are clustered on 6 acres within a 23-acre site, and were designed to balance ecological sustainability, affordability, and a healthful interior environment. I was one of a team of architects, in collaboration with Peter Kitchen and Bill Austin. This is also my home community, where I have been living the joys of cohousing for the past two dozen years.
