Robin Allison earned a degree in architecture at the University of
Auckland in 1987 and had her own practise in sustainable
architecture for many years, while raising two sons as a
solo-mother. In 1995 she initiated the project to develop Earthsong
Eco-Neighbourhood. As the Development Coordinator she was
intimately involved in the entire development and construction
phase from 1999 to 2008.
Earthsong remains her home, and she now writes, teaches and
consults around New Zealand to inspire and support thriving
connected communities. Her workshops and seminars on cohousing have
been a catalyst over the last six years for groups all over New
Zealand, from Whangarei to Dunedin and New Plymouth to Hawkes Bay,
to start working on their own projects.
“Robin Allison is a pioneer in cohousing and has written a thoroughly engrossing book about her experience of co-founding the Earthsong community in Auckland... Her tale of overcoming the hurdles she and the project faced during the decade it took to bring Earthsong to life is deeply compelling...” — Niki Harré, School of Psychology; Associate Dean Sustainability, Faculty of Science, University of Auckland
