The Cohousing Company

The Cohousing Company's Principal Architect Charles Durrett is widely recognized as a leader in the design of cohousing communities, sustainable architecture, and community-driven planning. Since 1987, we have been offering complete architectural services to a wide range of clients, with a current focus on the schematic design of cohousing communities. Our experience extends beyond the typical residential model, having adapted our design expertise to affordable housing developments, senior living communities, childcare facilities, pedestrian-friendly town planning, and mixed-use developments. We are passionate about creating places where people live connected, purposeful lives. Our commitment to continuing our work with communities that want to build, grow, and live sustainably together drives us in creating spaces that improve the lives of those who need care and consideration. Families, seniors, individuals experiencing homelessness, and neurodivergent individuals all need the support of a community. It is our belief that thoughtful, inclusive design is essential to providing a sense of dignity, security, and belonging for all people, regardless of their circumstances.
