  Description

  Hey there, my name is Max, I am an artist carpenter and architect - I am planing and building tiny houses (TH), and other alternative living spaces.
  I am into up-cycling, waste reduction, eco-friendly lifestyle, gardening (urban gardening), sustainability, permaculture.
  Update, there will be on the boat and at the other projects I'm involwed in an artist in residence programe - , more info will follow.
  Pls type in your copy paste message one of the kywords, some of them markt as keyword, some just have " " marks,
  the more keywords you put the more chances you have I'll answer ;)
  
  The place/ accommodation
  Houseboat (HB)- it is a magical, old and stylish boat, middle of Berlin. It has al what you need (gas stow, refregirator, washing mashine, Internet) to spend there cool time.
  It has watter to shower, watter to drink we are bringing currently in canisters (our filter system need to be fixed), indoor and outdoors toilet, gas stow on the boat to cock, and electricity (standart 220w power supply)
  The location:
  HB is situated in Tiergarten directly on the chanel (Kreuzberg Kanal). There is some space on the shore (100qm), it has a lot of trees and some facilities. The boat is so rounded by the nature, close to the big city live (10 min walk to the Train station Zoo), and there are also cool neighbors around.
  
  The project:
  It’s all about creating out of that space a Co-Making space - a platform with stage and a modular TinyHouse /Workshop (in witch would be posible to do basic craft work and host events with small amount of ppl). Events & tutorials would be about upcycling, alternative living spaces, coocking and craft.
  The houseboat has to become a spot to gather like minded ppl, and on some point soon these year a decentralized movement (which will aloud recreate similar spots independent of its location).
  Facilities:
  Work:
  There is no minimum amount of work need to be done, so you can "work as much as you can" (keyword). Any time I’ll need help I’ll just ask you, and any time you’ll have working mode you can do things which are fiting your curent mode (fixing interoute or exteriors of the boat, preparing place for the TH, or basicaly catching trash out of the chanel)
  if you’re in to building and craft it would be amazing, your help will be apriciated.
  There two stages of the project:
  1) Building platform and TH/Workshop (keyword)
  2) Hosting events (keyword) (keyword)
  So the things to do will depend on the curent stage.
  
  
  At the moment I am a bit busy, working and helping at two others satellite project : ("THs at shared spaces" in the city, and "permaculture project out in the country site" - you can check them out with me - you’ll love it - I promise ;)
  
  Host:
  In 2015 I've tryed first tine volunteering in Italy - it was great, and with some of the hosts I'm still in touch. Step by step I've learned for my self how much I like nature and appreciate time on the county side. But there is also urban and technological "part of me" - so I also enjoy travel in the cities, discover the architecture, and the feel fhe wybe of a "big village". So I life now - combining advantages of both worlds, combining my skills and experiences in products I'm building - living spaces, interior design, up-cycling.

  Accommodation

  Place to sleep:
  A tent on the shore site next to the boat. The tent and matraz can be provided.
  You can also crash during the day time at the Sofa on the HB. On the boat ate three rooms, but since they are not properly separated (soud profed) it is hard to host many ppl during the night.
  
  At the houseboat middle of the Central Park (Tiergarten) - check description above.
  
  At the moment I can not offer much food (but let see how it goes), I like to cook, so we will have time to time good food too:) Better don't count on it much ;)
  So the working time will be about 15 hours a week
