We believe that living in the 21st century can be both comfortable and responsible — without wrapping the planet in wires and suffocating it with coal. This concept will be realized through the development of a "Pico Utility Core", a centralized nerve center that connects entire micro-homes utilities and communications by taking the principles of a micro-grid and applying them more broadly across the utility and communication spectrum for housing units. The "Pico Utility Core", is to capture rainwater and sunlight, store and process them locally, so that we don’t waste materials setting up thousands and thousands of miles of pipes and cables.

By centralizing utilities we aim to capture waste from the utility systems and reduce the strain on existing city grids. One of the emerging uses we see is pairing this Pico Utility Core with 3D printed or prefab home technologies for even faster onsite assembly. This way we can capture the bi-products of natural energy processes
