Why a living lab
Not a vision of the future. An investment in practice.
LivingFoodEnergyMaking
In Spain we’re building a living lab where new creative ideas for living, food, energy and making aren’t just dreamed up, but tested.
With sustainable building, regenerative farming, local energy and circular applications, we explore what works. And what doesn’t.
No investors. No loans. No outside agenda.
Funded by Eco-dreamer. That way every product and every assignment contributes not only to change for our clients, but also to a bigger experiment for the future.
Step by step
The story of our casita.
A little house on the land and an awful lot of work. This is what building looks like in practice: with our own hands, step by step.
The beginning
How we found it.
A little white house among the trees, half hidden in the greenery. Lots of work. Even more potential.
Getting to work
Sleeves rolled up.
Ladder against the wall, insulation cut to size and a new frame on top. We build together, with our own hands, and learn what works along the way.
The new roof
Panel by panel.
First membrane and battens, then sandwich panels for a well-insulated roof. That calls for a victory moment!
And now
From pergola to living space.
We’ve brought the pergola section into the house: it’s now a bedroom and living room. Step by step, a place to test what works is growing here.
The land
What the soil already gives.
Olive trees in the red earth, figs, blackberries and pomegranates. And now and then a gecko on the wall. This is where tomorrow’s products literally start in the soil.

Our village
Cervera del Maestre.
Our Spanish village. A hilltop village with towers, little stone streets and art in unexpected places. And that view, everywhere.
The future comes from building it. Step by step.
