  Program Overview: Common House
An intentional community in Charlotte, Vermont, begun in 1990. Planned to accommodate 16 families in a clustered formation around a common green. Process of design strictly by group consensus. All members own, manage, and determine direction of community.

Design Features
Individual homes are designed from Design Criteria developed by the Building Committee. The criteria stresses energy efficiency, sustainability, and appropriate aesthetics.

Planned community gardens, meditation areas, preserved woodlands and meadows, common parking areas, use of gravel roadways/paths, and walking paths are prime program items. An engineered wetland supplements the wastewater system. More about Ten Stones at: Ten Stones extra
