Artists, designers, creators and makers of all types are invited to participate in this unique 4 to 6 week residency opportunity for 1 participant at Das Baumaus Berlin, a hub for creative sustainable development.


Das Baumhaus translates from German into, "The Tree House".  A tree house is a place in the neighborhood where all the kids come together to collaborate with their resources, skills and time to create a special place for special experiences. 


Since 2011 over 450 people from various backgrounds have contributed to the making of Das Baumhaus Berlin, a 140 square meter indoor tree house which has been used as a project and event space for all things having to do with sustainable development. 


Scott Bolden (designer, engineer & artist) and Karen Wohlert (activist & thinker) are the project co-founders and live in a shared apartment above the Baumhaus space where the residency living space is also located.  During this residency applicants are invited to propose a project that they would like to realize or choose from the many projects that are currently going on at the Baumhaus already.


We encourage applicants to dream big and have fun learning from their experiences.  Participants have full freedom to choose their own projects and define their own goals.  Scott and Karen offer to share their knowledge specific to sustainable development across the various dimensions of sustainable development including but not limited to: personal, ecological, aesthetic, cultural, economic and social dimensions. 


Participants develop their own goals and schedule and are invited to utilize the Baumhaus platform and network as a resource.  Participants choose the length of their stay ranging between 4 and 6 weeks.  The fee for every 2 weeks period is €300 which includes rent for the 18 square meter room and a minimum of 6 hours of direct personal one on one time with the Baumhaus co-founders.  Participants are responsible for covering their own food and travel costs.
