Establishing a Mediterranean Food Forest: First-Year Irrigation and Swale Design
How our pilot collective in Alentejo reduced summer irrigation loss through passive earthworks, mulch depth, and gravity-fed drip monitoring.
A welcoming home for community life.
Bring your people, gatherings, shared work, and resources into one calm place.
EVE is currently in its pioneer phase with selected communities. Full availability follows.
Everyday Community Life
Everyday life, held together.
A place to gather. A way to contribute.
From shared meals to shared projects, EVE helps people organize, participate and care for the places and each other that make community life meaningful.
Coordination & Stewardship
For the people keeping things organized.
Much of the work behind community life happens quietly. Someone keeps information up to date, follows up on maintenance and helps others find what they need. EVE Admin supports that work and connects it with the member experience in the Hub.

Foundations & Vision
A place to live well together.
EVE grows from a belief that people can build a good life through stronger relationships with one another and the places they inhabit.
That takes both freedom and responsibility: room to make your own choices, and a willingness to care for what you share.
Technology has a useful role here. It can help people organize, understand and participate. The direction of the community remains with the people who live there.
Cultivating shared spaces, gardens, and community life across generations
Shared Rhythms
Autonomy and shared responsibility
Members participate by choice, while working together to care for shared spaces, land, and resources.
Learning, making, and sharing skills side-by-side in community workshops
Local Sovereignty
Local resilience
Core community coordination and records stay accessible on local network hardware, continuing to work even during internet outages.
Working with raw clay and tactile craft — keeping hands and community connected to materials
Human Scale
Respectful tools
Clean interfaces that inform without demanding attention, notifications designed for practical coordination, and zero behavioral tracking.
Cultivating common garden beds and tending shared food systems together
A Dispatch from the Land
Thoughts on Community & Sovereignty
A personal reflection on autonomy, human connection, and why resilience matters for community life.
Practical Assistance
Help with everyday questions.
Where can I find our guest agreement? What needs doing this week? How do we look after this equipment? EVE includes a practical assistant to help answer questions like these, drawing directly from your community's confirmed documentation and task boards.
Resident Assistant Real Application Capture
Companion GuideNatural Presence
Practical Coordination (What It Does)
Retrieves documented agreements
Village Guidelines & Council MinutesQuickly points members to the right section of the community agreements or meeting notes.
Surfaces open tasks
Hub Task Board & Care SchedulesInforms members of upcoming work shifts or equipment that needs care.
Summarizes sensor status
On-site Water, Solar & Soil SensorsWhen connected to local sensors, reports current water storage or solar battery reserves.
Privacy & Sovereignty Boundaries (How It Operates)
Clear information boundaries
Zero SurveillanceThe assistant only accesses documentation your community explicitly designates for sharing. It does not monitor private messages.
Local deployment options
Local Hardware PriorityCan operate entirely on local village hardware (under the Sovereign Root setup) with zero external data sharing.
Silenceable & Optional
Can Be SilencedAssistance is strictly opt-in. Any resident can silence, mute, or disable the companion guide and suggestions at any time.
Current Status
Where EVE is today.
We believe in complete transparency about what is live, what is undergoing active field testing with our pioneer villages, and what is still being built.

Why is a project rooted in nature going to Web Summit?
Because we believe technology should support the life we want to live. At EVE, our purpose is to help people find or build communities closer to nature—and make it easier to share work, resources and decisions.
