One table, forty seats, and the case for eating with your neighbours.

At the centre of The Commons there is a table made from a single fallen oak. It seats forty. Nobody is obliged to use it, and almost everybody does.
Communities are not built with amenities. They are built with reasons to cross paths. A table is the oldest of them.
Small rituals
On Thursdays the gardener leaves what is ready to pick at the end of the table. On the first Saturday of the month, someone cooks. That is the whole programme.
Private consultation
Meet an advisor, see the show villa and take the long path down to the water. Viewings are private and unhurried.
