Earthsong Eco Neighbourhood
Earthsong is an innovative urban cohousing development in west Auckland, New Zealand, and a model of socially and environmentally sustainable urban living. Their vision is to establish a cohousing neighbourhood based on the principles of permaculture, that will serve as a model of a socially and environmentally sustainable community.
“Earthsong houses are designed to balance privacy and community, and have a layering of transition zones between common space and private space. There is a variety of house types and sizes from one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom terrace houses. This enables the neighbourhood to accommodate a range of residents — from single people to families, owners and renters, the old and the young”
