Growing more of what we eat.

We want to grow as much of the village’s food as the land can responsibly provide. Seasonal crops, orchards and perennial planting could bring fresh produce into everyday life throughout the year.

Permaculture will help us design these parts together, with a mix of growing areas shaped by the site, its climate and the people caring for it. Greater self-sufficiency is the aim, with the land’s health guiding how far we can go.

It begins with living soil.

Our intention is to grow food while restoring the ground beneath it. Regenerative agriculture puts the care of soil, its fertility and its living systems at the centre of that work.

Compost, mulch, diverse rotations, cover crops and approaches that minimise soil disturbance are possibilities we want to explore. The right combination will follow from understanding the land, rather than applying a fixed recipe.

Working with the landscape.

We want to plan around the way water moves, the habitats already present and the rhythm of the seasons. Trees, hedgerows, flowering margins and varied planting can belong within the productive landscape.

Our plans will explore careful water use, rainwater retention and ways to keep soil covered. The growing areas and planting in this drawing illustrate an approach; their eventual form will depend on the land we find.

A home of your own.

Private Geoship homes sit among trees and planting, with paths leading back to the shared mini-plaza. Each home has its own space, while neighbours are close enough for everyday encounters.

Sheltered timber terraces offer a place to sit outside, share a meal or find a quiet moment in the shade. Each home can have its own character within the neighbourhood.

Neighbours, close by.

The neighbourhood gathers around a small circular plaza with an open timber roof and benches. Paths lead out towards the homes, making this a natural place to pause on the way in or out.

The working idea is around 15 to 20 domes in a cluster. The drawing shows a smaller group so the arrangement and daily life are easier to see. The eventual layout will follow the land.

Room for everyday life.

Children playing, a conversation in the shade, neighbours preparing food together. Shared places can make these moments an ordinary part of living here.

A small barbecue area and open space for play are possibilities shown in this illustration. Through the cooperative, residents will help shape the shared life of their neighbourhood.

Growing things together.

Vegetable beds, herbs and climbing plants bring food growing close to home. The community gardens are a place to spend time outdoors, learn from one another and put our hands in the soil.

The drawing brings them together in one garden so the idea is easy to see. In the village itself, several smaller gardens could sit close to different neighbourhoods.

A place to follow the seasons.

Sowing, watering, harvesting and preparing the ground again. Looking after a garden gives the changing seasons a place in everyday life.

Mixed planting, compost and care for the soil can connect these gardens to the wider permaculture approach. What grows here will depend on our site, its climate and the people caring for it.

Learning alongside each other.

Some neighbours may arrive with years of growing experience; others may plant their first seedlings here. The gardens can make room for both, with space to share knowledge and try things together.

A shaded place to rest, paths between the beds and children discovering how food grows are part of the picture. These details are possibilities for a garden shaped by its community.

The village plaza

At the heart of the village, a circular plaza makes room for the everyday moments that bring neighbours together: a conversation, a shared meal, a familiar face on the way home.

An open timber roof offers shade and shelter, with benches around its edges. Paths lead out to the smaller neighbourhoods, each with its own covered mini-plaza.

A space for gathering

A larger shared dome provides space for community activities, indoor gatherings, retreats and healing activities.

Its smaller plaza forms a second centre, with guest domes nearby. This gives visitors and retreat groups a welcoming place to arrive, connected to the village.

A transparent geodesic dome is one design we’re exploring, with a flexible interior that can adapt to different gatherings.

A welcome for guests

A group of domes will host retreat participants, visiting friends and family, and people who are curious about Happiness Village.

They gather near the event dome and its smaller plaza, with paths connecting them to the wider village.

Space for nature

The village will occupy only a small part of the land. Most will be restored, stewarded or left undisturbed, with room for nature to thrive.

Renaturation and reforestation can help damaged areas recover, while existing woodland is cared for on its own terms.

We intend to protect the land through a trust, beyond property speculation and for generations to come.

Across the river

The proposed composition places most neighbourhoods on one bank, with one or two on the other. Two small bridges connect the paths.

A small beach below the upper bridge offers a place to pause beside the water. The river and these features are part of the imagined landscape; the eventual design will follow the real site and its ecology.

A new chapter for old buildings

Existing buildings could become the first inhabited places on the land, giving the project a base while the dome village develops.

In the 2028 visual scenario, all the existing houses have been restored. These are illustrative details, to be replaced by what the chosen site actually offers.

Where we are now

We are actively searching for land in Catalonia, visiting potential sites and developing the project’s legal foundations.

The drawings show the village we are working towards. The timeline makes the journey visible, while leaving space for the plans to evolve around the land and people who become part of it.
