Homeitat
A cooperative civic-design game and learning environment that makes a shared place tangible enough to touch, question, imagine, and revise together.

Bring one complicated shared problem. Find the next move.
Working across cooperative housing, public learning, ecological activation, and place-based development, the practice turns complex shared work into visible choices, bounded pilots, and usable handoffs.

Selected work
Three doors into the practice.
Start with the method, the place proposition, or the co-design room. Each page distinguishes what exists now from what still needs a host, review, permission, or development.
Möbius Refuge
A future place where rest, ecological repair, public learning, skilled making, hospitality, and stewardship can reinforce one another.
Follow the refuge route
AACDI
Art, architecture, archive, accessibility, local knowledge, and cooperative design brought together around one usable shared place.
Enter the AACDI roomEvidence, not atmosphere
Here is what exists now.
Each example names the work completed and the next credibility step before a larger claim can be made.
World of Nature Learning Path
Public ecological learning experience
Evidence in handA 23-sign learning path was developed through approximately 42 iterative walk-throughs with participants ages 10–65.
Next credibility stepTranslate the documented method into a host-specific, funded pilot with current access and technical review.
Cooperative operations + stewardship
Housing governance and shared-site work
Evidence in handCurrent work includes governance records, resident pathways, role clarity, shared-space stewardship, ecological observation, and participatory learning.
Next credibility stepContinue documenting what improves access, handoffs, workload, maintenance, and member participation.
Lanterns to the Spiral Garden
75-minute participatory workshop
Evidence in handThe session was accepted for the 2026 Imagining America gathering and has a defined format, materials, authorship, and public scope.
Next credibility stepDeliver the session, gather participant feedback, and revise the public workshop record.
Open field notes · Protected working instruments
The map is open. The kit travels by agreement.
The public layer shares principles, questions, diagrams, and selected examples for learning, discussion, citation, and critique.
Complete facilitation sequences, editable templates, assessments, cost models, site records, source files, partner notes, and implementation procedures stay in the workroom. Access is defined through a collaboration or license that names scope, labor, credit, privacy, permissions, and responsibility.
Paid project support
Bring the opening. Hire the connective work.
Have a recurring operating problem, an underused site, a funding window, or a project that is almost—but not yet—ready to move?
A scoped engagement can locate the next decision and build the package around it. Start with the place, the people, and what needs to become possible. You do not need to learn the whole vocabulary first.
A fit conversation clarifies contribution, authority, timeline, budget, confidentiality, and boundaries before work begins.
