WE HAVE EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE

June, 2021

6 years ago in 2014, the vision for a CRCLR house was born from a wish to provide creative working space for the growing circular economy community in Berlin. After a first prototyping phase that lasted until 2018, CRCLR was able to design the plans for the future CRCLR House with one goal: to build affordably from reused materials. TRNSFRM eG, the building cooperative in charge of the construction was founded out of these premises in 2016.

Fast forward 5 years, we are very excited to share that the newly built CRCLR House will re-open its doors in November 2021. We, the initiating group, have decided that we will no longer be operating the space hence we found a fantastic organisation to take over the CRCLR House. The team from Impact Hub Berlin will welcome its members in the co-working and lab facilities of the CRCLR House and will run a program focusing on 4 themes: diversity and inclusion, sustainable food, green technology, and the circular economy.

We would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the years. Without you, the vision for a CRCLR House would never have come to life.

If you are interested in being part of the CRCLR House, get in touch with Impact Hub Berlin.
