Kolûba is an alternative building collective in Turkey that focuses on constructing unique structures using natural materials such as earth, straw, and wood. They collaborate with landowners to realize architectural projects that emphasize a cleaner, healthier, and more personalized approach to housing.
The collective offers volunteer opportunities for individuals with prior experience in construction, particularly in woodworking, and a strong interest in craftsmanship. Volunteers are typically expected to commit to a minimum stay of three weeks.
Volunteer projects are located in various parts of Turkey, including regions near Bodrum and in the Kazdağlar mountains of Çanakkale. Tasks may involve building insulated woodframe structures, large wooden vaults, and other alternative building projects. Amenities for volunteers often include access to showers, toilets, washing machines, and Wi-Fi, though participants are usually required to bring their own tents for accommodation. Three meals per day are typically provided.
