Church Street Commons has been designed in a Neo-Harmonist style to complement and revere the architectural origins of New Harmony.  Envisioned as a collection of simple Harmonist forms, the homes then incorporate modern conveniences with forward thinking construction and energy saving methodologies.  Individual plans vary and each house is capable of being constructed with various spatial options, ranging from two bedrooms, two bath homes of approximately 1,500 square feet to three bedrooms, three bath homes of approximately 1,900 square feet.  Individual house designs can also incorporate additional spaces well suited to work or studio space either with or without public access. 

All houses have been designed with Sustainable building concepts in mind.  Passive solar features include south facing living spaces with appropriate overhangs and shading devices.  Materials throughout are high quality and from renewable resources.  Residences have both street side front porches, encouraging interaction with the community, and south facing private gardens with terraces and “brise soleils”, in keeping with New Harmony’s tradition of beautiful outdoor spaces.  Mechanical systems are state of the art and high efficiency  

Church Street Commons combines the advantages of various types of home ownership.  The architectural character of the houses fosters a sense of community and the Homeowners Association’s joint grounds keeping agreement provides for hassle-free living, as in a condominium development.  The single family detached building type maintains individual home identities, privacy, gardens and increased natural light.  The stringent Architectural Covenants assure that all residences will remain as designed.
