Is it possible to create a co-housing community affordably in Aotearoa with the high cost of building and land?

Yes, there are tricks and ways around standard residential building methods that can mitigate high building costs.

If you have been considering creating a co-housing community but afraid you can't make it affordable, join us for this presentation with Peter Grant.

Peter is an architectural designer, regenerative practitioner and involved with the formation of Whangarei’s Ecovillage Ahi Wai. This module is a crystallization of the American Foundation for Intentional Community’s Affordable Cohousing Community course with leading cohousing architect Charles Durett.

Charles and his partner Kathryn have written several books on cohousing and designed over 50 cohousing communities in the United States for which he has won a number of awards.

In one hour, Peter covers the main points of the Affordable Cohousing course and how they are applicable to Aotearoa in general and specifically to a proposed cohousing development in Waipu.
