Happy 2025! The Eco-Libre project published our 2024 Annual Report for last year.
Eco-Libre is a volunteer-run project that designs libre technology for sustainable communities.
Eco-Libre's mission is to research, develop, document, teach, build, and distribute open-source technology that sustainably enfranchises communities' human rights.
We aim to provide clear documentation to build low-cost machines, tools, and infrastructure for people all over the world who wish to live in sustainable communities with others.
Executive Summary
- Continuing search for land in Ecuador
- Prototype Progress of Life-Line
- Design changes to Launch-Nest and Treasure-Tower

If you want a more sustainable option (read: higher density, multi-family housing) that's actually licensed openly, checkout Eco-Libre's designs for the Launch-Nest.
The structure is designed to house 30 people (18 meters x 7 meters, 5-stories high), off-grid solar PV (energy) and thermal (heating, cooking), and walls are made of CEB pressed on-site.
We're still in the design phase, but the FreeCAD files are public and licensed CC BY-SA.
