In 2017, three older women built and moved into a compound near San Antonio. They enlisted Felix Ziga, the owner of San Antonio-based Ziga Architecture Studio, to bring the vision to life.

The project cost about $1.2 million, including the land purchase, which the women split equally. Take a look inside the compound and read on to see how they make their experiment in communal living work.
