If your homology theory is of the form $H_n(X) = H_n(S(X)) $ where $S$ is some functor from your original category to non-negative chain complexes, then the Dold-Kan correspondence gives you a corresponding simplicial abelian group $\Gamma(S(X)) $ and hence (by realization) a topological space in which you are "counting holes".
