About Us
One Planet Living Labs.
A non-profit incubator stewarding open-source design for the village of the future.
The Design Commons Community
A community of practitioners, dreamers, and stewards.
The OPA Design Commons is shaped by the people who show up to it — growers, builders, designers, ecologists, parents, and elders who bring hands-on experience of regenerative living. Each commoner arrives with their own lineage of practice and questions, and together we are weaving a shared body of knowledge for the village of the future.

Why we’re here
“I believe the One Planet Agrahood is the final Coin of the Realm. Meaning: As soon as humanity's value streams are simplified the OPA design will become singular regarding survival, thrival and antifragility, effecting a future proofing for the Global Majority (by 2050?).”
— Finn Po
“I'm part of the OPA project because I feel the sacredness in soil and live in presence with the earth's rhythms. It's my devotion to transforming what's cast off into life, and reclaiming the medicine in what society calls taboo.”
— Viviana
“I'm inspired by the idea that we humans were, at one point, a keystone species. The OPA concept has the potential to create a regenerative livelihood that fosters well-being for all beings, offering a holistic solution to the root causes of our collective modern catastrophe. It's a way to resume our role in the natural order.”
— Erik
Who is behind this
A small team. A wide commons.
One Planet Living Labs is the non-profit organization that hosts and stewards the OPA Design Commons. Our role is to hold the space — the platform, the shared agreements, and the long-term continuity — so that contributors can do the real creative work of designing a regenerative human habitat.
