Holistic design considers interconnected factors across environmental, social, and functional dimensions. Rather than optimizing single aspects, this approach addresses how different elements of a system influence each other and the broader context.

The community explores holistic design through projects spanning sustainable architecture, product design, and educational spaces. Work ranges from rehabilitation centers and school design to consumer products and ecological systems, demonstrating how comprehensive thinking shapes built environments and everyday objects.

CycleHaus

The CycleHaus is located in the middle of the largest world's ocean current. It can benefit the world's health by taking waste from one flow, recycling it, and shipping it worldwide by inserting it into another current route - without any additional energy used. The structure is politically, economically and socially independent, and able to expand further.
