Muir Commons Cohousing Community
Davis, California

This pioneering development was the first cohousing community built in the United States.

Our role was the programming and the design of the site plan, common house and private houses. Crafted on a 2.9 acre site, 26 units were designed to preserve a sense of privacy, while leaving quality open space and fostering a true sense of community. The heart of the community is its embracing and anchoring common house.

A planned-unit-development ( P.U.D.), it was designed, built and sold to meet the affordability requirements of the City of Davis.
