TRNSFRM eG is a Berlin-based cooperative that supports community-focused projects, prioritizing sustainable property management and creating spaces for social, economic, and cultural use while promoting affordable living.
TRNSFRM eG is a cooperative organization based in Berlin, Germany, that focuses on supporting project initiatives by taking on the role of a building owner during the planning and construction phases. The organization's primary goal is to create spaces that serve the common good through social, economic, and cultural uses, as well as affordable, communal living. TRNSFRM eG is committed to a different approach to land and property management, avoiding speculative value creation processes and instead prioritizing the needs of the projects and communities they support. The organization develops cooperation models and tools to facilitate collaboration between future users and the cooperative as the building owner. A notable example of TRNSFRM eG's work is the "Haus ALLTAG" project, a new type of hostel that addresses changing life plans and circumstances. Completed in December 2021, the building houses a health center, temporary living spaces, social services, a café, and a pension. The project is managed by the ALLTAG eG, a cooperative founded by the users of the building, which takes on the role of a general tenant. TRNSFRM eG is registered in the cooperative register and is a member of the Prüfungsverband der kleinen und mittelständischen Genossenschaften e.V., ensuring transparency and accountability in their operations. The organization's approach to property management and community development reflects a commitment to creating sustainable and socially responsible spaces.
