We want to maintain a flourishing and vibrant planet for future generations, and in Aurora, we are experimenting with a lifestyle where locally sourced products, regenerative agriculture, and smart use of natural resources are at the forefront. We strive for a situation where livelihoods could be organized in an ecologically and socially sustainable manner. Read more about the Koto cooperative's strategy here. You can move into Aurora for rent starting at €450 per month, which includes your own bedroom (also available furnished) and electricity, water, and fiber-optic internet. Additionally, you have access to shared facilities such as a kitchen, dining area, shower rooms, WC, living room, workspace, workshop, yard areas, greenhouse, electric bike, and car. This year, there are plans to make a second shower and sauna facilities, as well as one more toilet available. Recent renovations have focused on improving the comfort and usability of the facilities. Tenants are expected to take care of the shared spaces and commit to the common rules. In addition to permanent residents, there are occasionally other people belonging to the Koto community staying overnight in Aurora, such as volunteers and other short-term residents.
