Co-housing is one kind of community living that is catching on, even in urban areas. But this novel concept behind co-housing often obscures the fact that many of these projects are also blasing new trails in construction techiniques, design and architecture.
The co-housing community of Takoma Village offers a unique combination of high-tech green technology, a central courtyard and architectural highlights that blend into the nearby historic district. The development also features geo-thermal heating and cooling systems and makes use of new and recycled materials that save resources and keep utility costs low.
