Have you cohabitated with colleagues before? What's something you've noticed doesn't work?
Does living with couples as opposed to single residents pose different challenges or opportunities?
How will you communicate a sense of rigor in your environment? Are there specific elements (a singing bowl, an hourglass) that contribute to your work? Are there things you can't stand to have in sight? (screens, wires or tangled cords, shoes)
How much input from others would you like on this project?
If there is never time to do it right but always time to do it over, are there elements of the design process you'd like to take more or less time to "feel" out?
Are there areas you'd like to reserve for residents to contribute to, such as a garden or a library?
