Design Development Workshops

In projects for which we provide full architectural services, McCamant & Durrett Architects conducts three additional workshops that complete the participatory design process. In the Schematic Design Closure Workshop, we present, explain, and discuss the final schematic design with the group, with materials, landscape concepts, often a study model, and with final considerations from consultants and local authorities incorporated. This final design is what is submitted to the City or County.

In the Prioritization Workshop, together we finalize the standard amenities provided in every home and define a set of options that individual households can add.

In the Design Development Workshop we look at structural systems, heating and cooling, architectural details, and finalize material design decisions before proceeding with Construction Documents. All major components are fully explained, and the project is fully understood and documented.

“We could have discussed and argued about this stuff forever if McCamant & Durret hadn’t had it so organized and facilitated it so clearly.” –cohousing resident

Nobody has more experience creating cohousing communities. We'd like to give you an estimate of our fees, but need to know a little more about the status and specifics of your project.
