Stone Curves Cohousing is an urban infill community of 48 households. We have integrated permaculture and renewable energy systems into our landscaping and building designs.

Stone Curves Cohousing is envisioned to be a demonstration model of what can be done in and for our desert.

We share in the use of a 16 room common house, a planned 800 sq.ft. shop, gardens, pool & multiple play areas for kids and adults.
