More progress with the evolution of the Seminar Room, lighting installations and design of the tree house level:

– The tree house level is now evolved to take on the characteristics of an Atrium!

– We have our first full scale prototype for the flower lighting fixture in the main room.

– The back room is taking shape as we prepare for the installation of the sound-proof ceiling.

We are entering a very exciting period of building the Baumhaus and need a few extra hands to prepare the space for construction! This coming Tuesday (19.01) at 12pm we will be preparing the back room. We will be moving materials in the space as well as organising other things in the space in a more efficient way. Afterwards, there’ll be the chance to have a chat, ask questions about the Baumhaus project and find out other ways to get involved! At the end we will be cooking together and sharing a nice meal.

We look forward to seeing you there!

As we enter an exciting period of building the space, we are looking for some extra help with our communications (particularly keeping our social media platforms up to date), as well as people to participate in the designing and building of the space and to manage smaller projects within our network. We are especially looking for native German speakers or those with very good writing and speaking skills in German.

Check out other internship opportunities available with us here.

We’ve got a busy few weeks coming up at Das Baumhaus! With some exciting news about planning permission for the space, we will be diving into design development and prototyping everything from work-stations and furniture to lighting and vertical gardens. We will also be communicating with potential sponsors. If you want to get involved, check our building page to see what opportunities we have posted. You can also check out our ‘resources and help we need’ page.

Tomorrow (Thursday 07.01) from 6:00 – 9.30pm we are having a meeting in the Baumhaus space that will deal with the aesthetic and technical design of the lighting for Das Baumhaus. Come along and get involved! (Gerichtstr. 23, front house, ground floor)

Help to spread the Holiday cheer on Saturday the 19th at our Baumhaus Holiday Party! Come by to Gerichtstrasse 23 for yoga, cookies, jazz, poetry, cocktails, dancing and a whole lot more. This will be our last event of 2015, come meet some of the interesting people in our network.

The following photos are from our new event series ‘Sunday Afternoon’ at the art loft berlin. The space looked magical, complete with Christmas baubles, pinecones and flickering candelabra and jazzy sounds from Berlin jazz trio “appletrio” kept the good energy flowing all afternoon long. We sipped gin and tonics and feasted on treats of homemade bread canapés and beetroot quiche, provided by Gin Events. Laughter and inspiring conversation could be heard all around. A cosy chill-out with old and new friends – exactly how a Sunday afternoon should be spent!

Catch “Sunday Afternoon” #2, the second instalment of a very special collaborative neighbourhood event series, in the new year.
