"I am thrilled and honored to join the GeoComb team. Reflecting on the myriad challenges, catastrophes, and opportunities that the year 2020 brought, four things stand out to me as being more essential than ever: simplicity, beauty, sustainability, and our common humanity. The GeoComb Homes model makes all of these things possible, and I look forward to changing the world for the better with the rest of the team, our partners, and our customers."

30 day countdown to "Day One"!

- James

We're back from the TinyFest and the excitement is still moving through us from all the great people, creativity and interest in simple living we found there. Our experience is perfectly described by this Instagrammer we met who posted a pic of our mock-up display pieces showing a corner and interlocking post. Her words were echoed by many visitors to our booth.

Welcome!

Early Adopter Update

We'll be separating the ADU roll out from the unpermitted backyard components. There are many Early Adopters who need Certified products for permit applications, and others who are satisfied without that label. Therefore we will continue the longer and more costly development process of Certified "tagged" components while starting production of the "uncertified" but nearly identical options sooner. We will be processing the applications beginning this week in these in two parallel groups so that the process of getting State and Federal Certifications does not further delay the group who does not need it.

The minimum amount of Early Adopter Applicants to begin individual consultations and ordering has almost been reached. There's still time to plan a set of components for your Early Adopter Pre-Paid Discount. Fill out that form if you haven't already done so.

Welcome New Subscribers!

Thank you Santa Barbara for showing up to support this vision and making the 2nd Annual Housing Santa Barbara Day a great success. We have received many inquiries with the help of our amazing local friends the Santa Barbara Independent and Santa Barbara City Housing Authority. We are excited to work with the Santa Barbara community to support affordable housing and ADU solutions.

Welcome to all Early Bees and Early Adopter Candidates!  We are looking forward to following up and finding how GeoComb Homes can bring solutions and fulfilment to your housing dreams. The range of uses, settings and visions you have shared definitely shows us how many ways GeoComb Homes can make a difference in many lives with very different situations.

Ideas range from a simple backyard refuge to an intentional rural community to a storable mountain vacation cabin. We certainly love designing GeoComb Homes, but we will enjoy helping you build your dreams the most! Thank you for your part in moving this forward by showing your interest in GeoComb Homes.

We will be reaching out to all of our new Early Bees individually soon to help you bring your vision into sharper focus. We'll get to answer your questions to define the scope and pricing for each Early Adopter order.

We are looking forward to getting to know you!

Be an Early Bee...

The GeoComb Prototype is complete and is a great success!

A great team of friends assembled the first GeoComb Home last fall with finishing touches in January. We were able to set it up in only a couple of hours as we hoped. It has been reported as the most comfortable housing on the land where it sits on property near the ridge above Santa Barbara. It stays warmest on cold days and coolest in those sweltering mountain heat waves. We learned so much building it and many improvements are being integrated into the design. As soon as the patents have been submitted for review we can publish the design details and post our videos of the prototype setup.

We are currently in talks with manufacturing partners for the components. This is a very exciting time as we see the launch moving closer. The "GeoComb Homes" business entity has been created as a sole proprietorship with a plan to incorporate before the first units are delivered. We'll be posting much more often from now on, and ramping up the outreach strategy. These are good times to offer solutions that provide needed affordable housing and manufacturing with sustainable materials. The Accessory Dwelling Unit regulations are going into place. Applications are surging statewide. Southern California will be our entry market for private residential applications. We will be creating a non-profit entity to work with governmental bodies and foundations to provide affordable housing and Relief Shelter.

We will be posting an Opportunities Page this week for those interested in joining the team or collaborating in other ways. Early Adopters -  those wanting to get special discounts opportunities in exchange for participating in research interviews and 100% and 75% deposits - should get signed up soon since production will be starting within a few weeks.

Thanks for your interest!
