A rough sketch of the rhythm.

This isn't a schedule. It's an intended shape — provisional, and expected to drift once real people are in the house.

Most residents work remotely. Mornings are protected for that. The house is quiet before noon; there's no enforced communal breakfast, no icebreaker sessions, no designated "deep work hours". Adults with jobs know what they need.

Afternoons open up. The terrain is there, the light is long in early summer, and some of the best conversations happen walking uphill slowly with nowhere to be. Shared meals in the evenings — cooked in rotation, not catered. Some weeks will have a loosely organised exploration (a drive somewhere, a boat, an overnight); most won't.

Mornings

protected — work, writing, rest

Midday

loose — lunch is fend-for-yourself

Afternoons

open — terrain, walks, individual projects

Evenings

shared — dinner in rotation, conversation

Weekends

fully unstructured; collective plans emerge or don't

Exploration

possibly one or two collective trips per residence, never mandatory

The rhythm will adjust. The first group helps set it. That's part of why going first matters.
