The Commons Hub is an experimental playground for regenerative systems design in the Austrian Alps. Its intimate atmosphere, egalitarian principles and stunning natural surroundings foster deep and lasting connections among peers. more at commons-hub.at
Feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders? You're not alone. Come rest with us.
With hours to spare, we filled the trench with soil, stones, and the critical warning tape that power lines are below! In the end it's not looking too bad. Of course we'll continue to beautify the area from here.
Obviously we were stoked (pun intended) about the sauna being complete, but there was still the not so small matter of filling in the trench before the first guests of the season arrived for their wedding party.
BREAKING: IT'S LIT. The sauna has reached completion and is fully operational! Ofc we tested it to ensure it was up to our high standards.
The sauna series reaches its finale! Last week we finally connected the new power control unit to the sauna.

THE HUB GOT HACKED ...by some real white-hat commoners during this year's Hack the Hub event! What's that? Pics or it didn't happen? Bet.
No good gathering place is complete without a fire place, ours just happens to be a beautiful old cauldron that looks straight out of a fairy tale. It keeps us warm when the night is cool, and works magic older than all of us. Won't you come join us and share your story?
Hot tub appreciation post Who doesn't love a good soak in some warm water on a cool evening, surrounded by friends and peers? Some of our best times have been here in the back yard, reflecting on the rich ideas of the day and recharging for what's yet to come. #FireTeam
