I would like to hear the ideas that go with maximum 11 people.
It is not a hard and fast rule, as there have been single families with more than that many family members living under a roof.
But, 11 disparate people and you will start running into some conflict. Each 1 added, creates more points of contention.
However, several large buildings is what will probably happen, and people will move between and that may fix things.
But, i also think the individual tiny-suites are a key element in putting more people closer together.
I also had ideas of building a great big stone fireplace wall. (you run the duct work, all back and forth in the big stone wall, and so you heat the entire place with a massive heat bank. Have it face sunlight in the winter)
The 11 people thing comes from a long standing community (40 + years) that's what they have seen work... more gets stupid, less is better tho.
I've lived with 9 people in a loft before and we shared one bathroom... that was fun!
At some point we were 27 people trying to build a life together and the property we had lined up fell through... after that it was impossible to find a new one, as we tried to run things in a unanimous consent type of governance. So it eventually fell apart and we went off to do our own thing.
Dreams and ideas change... the hardest part of building something like this is finding the right people
