Non-Profit Research & Design
Building a Greener Future, for Everyone.
Open-source robotic 3D printing, carbon-negative bioconcrete research, and regenerative land labs for the future of decentralized living.
Desert Lab
Joshua Tree, California
Thermal lag testing and extreme environment construction. Rammed earth prototyping, passive cooling systems, and desert-adapted permaculture in one of the harshest climates on earth.
Forest Lab
San Bernardino Mountains
Alpine permaculture research at 5,400 feet. Testing cold-climate food forests, biochar soil amendments, and sustainable microfarming techniques in a high-altitude evergreen ecosystem.
Bio-Block Tech
Digital-to-Dirt Pipeline
Fully open-source 3D-printed bioconcrete blocks. Combining computational design with earth-based materials to create affordable, resilient, and carbon-negative building components for everyone.
