- Project Type: Multi Family
- Location: Boulder, Colorado
The 750 North co-op, located in Boulder, Colorado, is a ten-bed contemporary home plus an ADU aiming to provide healthy and beautiful spaces for unrelated residents while promoting affordability through a cooperative model.
Designed to be replicable, the project repurposed an older, “obsolete,” 1956 duplex rental property and constructed 11 permanently affordable co-op for-sale shares on the previously single-family home lot. The new design provides net-zero energy construction that gently fits into an existing neighborhood fabric. The design includes a common kitchen, living room, and dining room, offices on the top level, and an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and alley-loaded garage in back.
By strategically locating this type of housing near transit, bike paths, and commercial areas, the co-op style building helps to decongest traffic, decarbonize emissions, and encourage more walking and biking to school, shopping, and work, all of which creates more vital, attractive public spaces.
The goal was to bring a community land trust model together with a cooperative housing development approach to provide affordable and workforce housing to Boulder. Caddis worked closely with Goose Creek Community Land Trust to design efficient and beautiful units and community spaces, along with navigating the process of bringing the unique housing model to the Newlands neighborhood of Boulder.
