Old problems require new solutions.
We are not a team of architects and real estate professionals, we are engineers, designers, and operators ready to apply new knowledge to an aging field.
Dayne Littlewood
Designer / Co-Founder
Dayne is a digital illustrator and visual artist. With experience in home renovation and construction carpentry, he has seen the disconnect between traditional construction and the resulting built environment. He learned there are alternative, more intentional ways to build living spaces, so he became a part of the solution. His weekdays are spent designing, drafting and modeling passive, healthy homes the way they can be.
Eliot Kahn
CEO / Founder
Eliot left his job as a Product Development Engineer to follow his passion and HumanKind Homes. After studying mechanical engineering at Cal Poly, SLO he brings his engineering background to the construction industry. With fresh eyes and an engineering-first design methodology, he is using Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) on the whole home as a complete product. By redefining what a home needs to do and optimizing a construction process to build that improved home, Eliot brings engineering best practices to an under-innovated industry.
