submitted by saltalberta on 06/30/19 1

Architect Charles Durrett discusses some of the benefits of cohousing for seniors at a talk in Colfax California, May 2019. Charles Durrett, with Kathryn McCamant, introduced the concept of cohousing to the United States with the seminal book Cohousing: A Contemporary Approach to Housing Ourselves. The latest edition is Creating Cohousing, Building Sustainable Communities. Durrett has written several other books on cohousing, including Senior Cohousing: A community Approach to Independent Living—The Handbook. Durrett and his team at The Cohousing Company/McCamant & Durrett Architects, have designed more than 50 cohousing communities in the United States and around the world, including Muir Commons in Davis, California, the first cohousing community in North America. His work has been featured in Time Magazine, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Guardian, Architecture, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and many other publications.
