Our Buildings and Shared Spaces

Rock Bottom (RB)

Rock Bottom, built in 1976, houses East Wind’s main kitchen and dining facilities. Community meals are prepared here. RB includes a wide range of cooking appliances and kitchenware. RB has three refrigerators inside and there is a large walk-in fridge just ten steps outside the kitchen where the majority of produce and dairy are stored. RB is also home to most of our community message boards and a popular hangout spot; it is very likely the most frequented building in community.

Hammocks is a large open room in the Enterprise building (which also houses our offices, commie computers, and shipping space) where East Winders used to handcraft hammocks for Twin Oaks. East Wind has transitioned away from the hammocks business to focus on the more profitable Nut Butters business and currently only a handful of hammocks are made for seasonal demand. This room is now used as our movie theater and game room. There is an HD projector for watching movies and shows. A pool table, air hockey table, ping pong table, and foosball table are also available for anyone to use in HMX.

Annares has a private bathroom with its own shower and Fanshen has an outside shower (cold water only) that is walled for privacy. Lilliput also has a private bathroom.
