Co-found EcoHub One · a regenerative community · waitlist open

A new way of living — with nature, and each other.

We're building EcoHub One, a regenerative community designed so the people and the land both thrive. It starts with a small founding circle, and the first step is saying you're in.

An EcoHub community living and working on regenerating land
The why

Most of us feel a little disconnected from nature, from each other, from work that matters.

We're not the first to dream of living differently. People have tried for decades, and when intentional communities fail, it's rarely over solar panels or vegetable beds. They fail on the hard, human part: conflict, unclear decisions, burnout, who-does-what.

EcoHubs starts with that hard part. Clear human structure comes first, then the land, the buildings and the business.

What is an EcoHub?

A small community that lives well together and gives more to the land than it takes.

Picture a handful of households on regenerating land: shared gardens and kitchens, low-impact homes, real work and real income, and a way of making decisions together that actually holds. It is neither a commune nor an eco-resort. People live and work there, and the design is meant to be copied by the next hub.

01

Regenerate, don't sustain. Leave soil, water and people better.

02

People before infrastructure. Settle the human system first.

03

Belonging by design. Clear roles, fair repair, real voice.

04

Made to be copied. So the next hub is easier to build.

Six minutes inside the vision, from morning to evening in a working hub.

The system

An EcoHub stands on four pillars and needs every one of them.

Most community projects skip this part, so we built it first.

Human structure (RCOS)

Explicit, agreed rules for decisions, roles and repair, so conflict doesn't break the community.

The right place

A map that weighs 29+ data sources, from water and climate to soil and community, to find where an EcoHub will thrive. Sites are shortlisted across 3 continents.

A real business

Every EcoHub is also a regenerative enterprise, so it pays for itself instead of running on goodwill and grants.

self-funding

Part of a network

Hubs connect and share. A regenerative finance model lets one healthy hub help fund the next.

Building it for real

The homes already exist, and you can build them almost anywhere.

Natural builder Javier Yanez has developed an affordable, replicable geodesic dome system: CNC-cut frames assembled with local, natural materials. A 7-metre dome costs roughly $10k–$20k.

Honest answers

The questions people actually ask.

No. The waitlist is free and completely non-binding. You're saying "tell me more, keep me posted", and nothing else. You can leave any time, and joining never obligates you to move, pay, or decide anything.
