Info Trailer

HouseEurope! is the European Citizens' Initiative for new EU-laws to make renovation and transformation more easy, affordable and social. Because the demolition of existing buildings is as outdated as food waste, animal testing and single-use plastics. 

Our Goal

How to make a change?
Through fair EU laws!

Assembly Berlin

We demand a Right to Reuse for existing buildings based on three key pillars: (I) tax reductions for renovation works and reused materials, (II) fair rules to assess the risks and potentials of existing buildings, and (III) new values for the embedded CO2 in existing structures.

Documentary

"Power to Renovation: A Question of Values" is a documentary that follows experts from across Europe as they explain why demolishing buildings wastes homes, jobs, energy, and history. The film starts by showing the darker side of real estate speculation, then reveals how renovation and transformation are real alternatives, and how we can change our value system through activism and direct democracy.
