One Community is helping build a global collaboration for the Highest Good through sustainable and self-replication community models. We are doing this by designing and open source sustainable approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economic design, social architecture, fulfilled living, global stewardship practices, and more.

One Community is facilitating global collaboration for the highest good through Highest Good housing that is artistic and beautiful, more affordable, more space efficient, lasts longer, DIY buildable, and constructed with healthy and sustainable materials:
This week Brianna Olsen (Sustainability Researcher) joined the team and completed her first week researching the most sustainable insulation options. These images show her first round of results.
Harsha Gaddipati (Sustainability Researcher) also joined the team researching the most sustainable insulation options as well as the most sustainable window options. You can see his initial research here.
Shadi Kennedy (Artist and Graphic Designer) also completed his 54th week leading the development of the Murphy bed instructions. This week Shadi finished the last round of revisions and additions to the clothing and storage area, now this section of the plans to go to testing again in 3D.
One Community is facilitating global collaboration for the highest good through a Duplicable and Sustainable City Center that is LEED Platinum certified/Sustainable, can feed 200 people at a time, provide laundry for over 300 people, is beautiful, spacious, and saves resources, money, and space:
This week the core team confirmed all the furniture sizes and outlined all the needed furniture updates shown here for AutoCAD.
Tanya Griffin, Aubryanne Boyle, and Allie Marsh (Interior Designers from Lotus Design Pros) completed their 24th week helping with the Duplicable City Center interior design details. This week’s focus was checking and updating the final cost analysis details shown here.
Yuqiao Zhang (Architectural Designer/Drafter) completed his 3rd week helping finalize the City Center AutoCAD and SketchUp files. This week’s focus was finishing all the sections, updating the detailed drawings for the hexagon and diamond windows, and entry gates. You can see some of this work here.
Ron Huang (Mechanical Engineer) continued with his 5th week working on the Energy Modeling for our LEED Platinum certification and City Center open source HVAC design tutorial. This week he input the electrical, ventilation, and infiltration loads into the model and created and assigned the space types. You can see some of this work here.
Elizabeth Kahn (Environmental Consultant) also completed her 16th week as a researcher. This week she returned to researching the most sustainable faucet options, reviewed all the options provided by Sloan, and created the spreadsheet shown here.
One Community is facilitating global collaboration for the highest good through Highest Good food that is more diverse, more nutritious, locally grown and sustainable, and part of our open source botanical garden model to support and share bio-diversity:
This week the core team continued with week 12 of our research into lake and water retention landscape creation as an additional source of water for food production and the Duplicable City Center sprinkler systems. This week we finished the contour and ridge-point dam designs and finalized the demonstration-placement locations for all of them.
One Community is facilitating global collaboration for the highest good through Highest Good education that is for all ages, applicable in any environment, adaptable to individual needs, far exceeds traditional education standards, and more fun for both the teachers and the students. This component of One Community is about 95% complete with only the Open Source School Licensing and Ultimate Classroom construction and assembly details remaining to be finished.
With over 8 years of work invested in the process, the sections below are all complete until we move onto the property and continue the development and open sourcing process with teachers and students – a development process that is built directly into the structure of the education program and everything else we’re creating too:
This week the core team continued working on the redesign of the Ultimate Classroom. This week we added items to four classrooms and an additional urinal to the men’s restroom. You can see some of this work-in-progress here.
One Community is facilitating global collaboration for the highest good through a Highest Good society approach to living that is founded on fulfilled living, the study of meeting human needs, Community, and making a difference in the world:
This week the core team analyzed our YouTube results for this year in comparison to last year to show significant improvements have been made through our changes to our presentation strategy.
The core team also used a new tool for analyzing our Google Grant Adwords campaigns showing we still have a lot of room for improvement there.
Jin Hua (Web Marketer and Graphic Designer) then used this information to run even more reports and outline the next stages of our Google Analytics and Google Ads campaigns.
And Emilio Nájera (Digital Marketer) continued with his 32nd week as part of the marketing team by creating a Google Ads review and snapshot covering the last 6 months of his development of these campaigns, researched the steps to maximize linking Google Ads to Google Analytics, and created a May 2019 summary of results as our next marketing starting point.
In addition to this, Brian Gilb (Project Management Professional – PMP) continued with his 8th week of updating our business plan and project management strategy by further developing the full marketing plan. This included conducting market research, positioning of the brand, analyzing the competition, and crafting a message and profile for One Community’s target market. He also helped with more outlining of the Open Source Library project and work breakdown structure.

One Community is creating a place to grow together and change the world together, contributing to the global collaboration for the Highest Good. We are creating a space that helps each other live in integrity with each other and the planet as we strive to be the greatest versions of ourselves. We do this by harmoniously respecting each other, nature, and the rest of our one shared planet.
Our goal is to demonstrate what we feel is the most sustainable, healthy, and fun environment we can create, fostering the global collaboration for the Highest Good. A place based on compassion, kindness, and collaboration. This replicable community will serve as an example for what is possible.
Throughout our design process we are open sourcing and free-sharing everything needed for construction and replication, contributing to the global collaboration for the Highest Good. This includes what we call “Highest Good” approaches to food, energy, housing, education, for-profit and non-profit economics design, social architecture, fulfilled living, stewardship practices and more. We are creating these resources for implementation as individual components or complete developments called teacher/demonstration hubs. These hubs will help launch additional hubs as awareness and knowledge grow.
One Community will be the first teacher/demonstration hub, spearheading the global collaboration for the Highest Good. It will function as an experiential-learning model that facilitates mass participation to address humanity’s most pressing challenges through: A replicable model for expansion, building seven self-sufficient village/city prototypes, becoming the world leader in open-source sustainability solutions, and evolving and expanding ALL aspects of sustainable living.
The One Community self-replicating model is capable of creating a sustainable planet within 30 years with the help of the global collaboration for the Highest Good. We will achieve this by establishing successful teacher/demonstration hubs on every continent. Villages include designs appropriate for each of the five main types of climates. They also include options for even the most challenged economies. These hubs will collaborate with one another, share ideas, resources, and work together as a network to heal the planet. They will also transform the global lifestyle to a more enjoyable, fulfilling, healthy, and sustainable one.
The specifics of how One Community is accomplishing this can be found on the One Community Solution Model to Create Solution-creating Models Page. Research supporting and showing the benefits of a model like this can be found on our Research and Resources Articles Archive.
Even if we don’t achieve our ultimate goal of global transformation, a self-replicating teacher/demonstration model like this will take a relatively short period of time to positively affect millions while inspiring millions more, contributing to the global collaboration for the Highest Good. For One Community residents (the Pioneer Team), the idea of creating and sharing the social and recreational experience with visitors is also fun, exciting, fulfilling, and an additional reason why we are creating this.
