VILLAGEA cooperative village in Catalonia
Happiness Village is a cooperative village we’re developing in Catalonia, with private homes, shared gardens and spaces to gather, surrounded by nature.
Discover the villageOur homes
The homes are an important part of the life we want to create here. We’ve chosen Geoship domes for their approach to materials, energy efficiency and the experience of living inside them.
Geoship Domes Inside & outside
About the materialsGeoship uses bioceramic composites to create the dome’s panels. These ceramic materials are being developed for durability and resistance to fire, moisture and pests. That focus on longevity matters to us: homes should serve the people living in them for many years and generations to come.
The dome’s shape and insulation are designed to reduce the energy needed to keep the home comfortable. Geoship’s manufacturing approach also aims to reduce construction waste and the carbon impact of building.
High ceilings, rounded interiors and generous windows give the homes an open, spacious feel. Views of trees, gardens and the changing sky keep the surrounding landscape present, even when you’re spending the day indoors.
Shared ownership, a home of your own
Happiness Village will follow a cooperative model, with shared ownership of the land and long-term rights to use a private home.
Your home will be your own space, somewhere to settle in, make your own and enjoy your private life. Through the cooperative, you’ll also have a part in shaping the shared village around it.
We’re currently developing the legal structures and agreements that will put this into practice. Membership terms, decision-making processes and arrangements for joining or leaving will be explained clearly before anyone is asked to make a commitment.
Explore the practical questionsA few practical things
In Catalonia, Spain. We’re actively searching and visiting potential sites, with the aim of securing land during 2027. The exact location has not yet been chosen.
Our target is to welcome the first residents in 2030. Timing depends on the land, permissions, funding and construction. We’ll share progress and any changes through Circle.
The intended cooperative model combines shared ownership of the land with long-term rights to use a private home, rather than individual ownership of a house and plot. The legal terms are being developed and will be explained before any commitment.
You’ll have your own home and private life. Gardens, the plaza and shared spaces will make it easier to meet people and spend time together, without needing to be social all the time.
No. There will be opportunities for reflection, personal growth and spiritual exploration, but no expectation to follow a particular practice or belief.
Yes. Becoming a resident will involve getting to know each other and exploring whether the village is a good fit on both sides. The process is still being developed. Joining Circle is an opportunity to start that conversation, not a resident application.
Yes. Guest accommodation is part of the plan, with some domes forming a hotel for visiting friends and family, retreat participants and people curious about the village.
You can follow project updates, watch video podcasts with the founding team, take part in community calls and get to know other interested people. We also organise in-person meetups with potential future neighbours.
No. You’re welcome to explore, ask questions and get to know the people and the project at your own pace. Joining Circle is not a housing reservation or cooperative membership.
