What is the Bright Village?
The Bright Village is a residential complex planned to provide cooperative housing clusters for up to 40 people in five clusters on six acres of land in the Seigler Springs subdivision in the Cobb Mt. area of Lake County. Each cluster contains eight private dwelling units and a shared common space building. Each unit has its own bathroom, efficiency kitchen, private entrance and small back yard. The common space has a large kitchen, dining and gathering areas, laundry, and bathroom. A Community Center is planned to serve the entire Village.
Why the Bright Village?
Residential models for those who wish to live cooperatively with others are emerging more and more, but they still form a very small fraction of the total housing market. However, there are many for whom none of the typical residential options are desirable, optimal, or even possible. The Bright Village offers a new model—attractive, modest, well-built, and affordable private living units within an open and human-scale architecturally-designed space that allows and encourages cultural and practical interaction, cooperation, and good company.
How large are the individual dwelling units?
There are two types of units in each of the Bright Village clusters: a 330 square-foot studio and a 470 square-foot unit with separate living and bedroom areas. There is some flexibility in customizing units and how units might be combined to create larger living spaces. The common space building is 960 square feet.
