Tomo House has brought Happy City into a unique collaboration with an enlightened developer (Take Root), a creative design team (Lanefab and MA+HG Architects, and a group of future residents determined to find an affordable, pragmatic path to cohousing (Our Urban Village). Our Urban Village is a group of families who wanted the benefits of cohousing without the crippling financial and time burdens that often come with traditional cohousing approaches. They invented a phrase, “cohousing lite,” to describe their dream. Happy City introduced the group to Take Root, who offered to help make that dream a reality. Tomo, which stands for “together + more,” reflects the project’s guiding ideals. As housing prices rise faster than income, many families cannot afford traditional single-family homes. They are looking for new housing choices somewhere between single-family homes and high-rise condos. We believe that affordability, sociability, and sustainability goals are interconnected and work together in a virtuous cycle.Show Less
