Private Home Design Workshop

Join us for a unique and inspiring Private Home Design Workshop led by the renowned Charles Durrett! Discover the joy of designing your dream home within a collaborative community setting. Over the course of two days and one evening, we will be designing spacious apartments in a thoughtfully planned 30-unit strata complex.

At East Van Cohousing, we prioritize the power of connection. Our shared spaces are carefully designed to foster a sense of togetherness and meaningful interactions. Imagine sharing delightful meals in our inviting dining room, watching your kids explore and create in the dedicated playroom, or tending to your own garden in our community gardens.

During the workshop, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to the design criteria for your ideal apartment, ensuring it meets your needs while keeping construction costs down by creating standard apartment lay-outs. 

The fee for the workshop is on a sliding scale from $600 to $1800, depending on your ability to pay. If you proceed with the project will count as double towards a future share purchase in the East Van Cohousing community. This workshop is an excellent opportunity to support the development of a new cohousing community and invest in your future home. Additionally, this workshop fee counts double towards a future share purchase in our vibrant cohousing community, allowing you to invest in your future home.
