dc.description.abstractSiskiyou Cohousing is an exploration into an ecologically and socially sustainable alternative to the American suburb. Addressing issues of resource consumption and community fragmentation, Siskiyou Cohousing provides the infrastructure for a group to come together in support of inclusive, Localized, environmentally conscious living. Located on a former pit mine and landfill, the site is a rare, undeveloped parcel in Northeast Portland. Siskiyou Cohousing is designed for low-impact living, integrating building systems with the natural resources on site to provide water and energy. The building enclosures are super-insulated and rooms are day lit to reduce the demand for off-site energy sources. To address the social problems of the suburbs, Siskiyou Cohousing uses a greater hierarchy of public and private spaces to create layers of community interaction, supporting both the group and individual lifestyle.en_US
