The Artlantica resort as a unique residential concept on the Atlantic island of Madeira planned, with the help of which may also settlers, and families who do not have assets, manage their own home. The Artlantica-Resortt based on an EU-oriented cooperative initiative responsible for the creation of housing and jobs and will be on location in Berlin and Portugal. The Artlantica resort project supports people who have a request to build a community in affordable housing.
The key to success of the Artlantica resort-building program is partnership. "Atlantica Resort" is working in partnership with the settlers, and families who build their own homes, with cooperative committees that create the building projects and coordinate with local authorities, as well as shops and companies in the area concerned, which participate in the cooperative.
the funds to finance the construction projects come from membership fees, donations, and from capital, which the ArtVitalis Cooperative eG on the sale of cooperative units, construction and health services, and Eco Lodges generated. The future homeowner families work together and help each other build their houses, they are supported by volunteers. If this does not help themselves, builds co-developer of the house with an invoice to an end.
settlers who do not pay the necessary capital for construction, after completion of the DIY threads houses to the cooperative, the construction costs incurred for the community over a period of 1-7 years back. It is no profit included and there are no interest charged on the mortgage. The repayments flow into a cooperative Neuverteilungsfond, used to further pre-construction projects.
"Atlantica Resort builds more than houses. It is a program that neighborhood and community, self-esteem and promotes personal responsibility, and the basis for a healthier, secure and happier life creates.
