Octagon

the heart of the valley

The octagon is the central space of Valle de Sensaciones.

Thanks to its design it suits different uses: its a space for meeting as well as for doing workshops, it is also the kitchen and a turns into a dance floor when we party.

We can tear off two of its walls and make it into a half open space for summer.
Thanks to its central hole on the mandala roof and its vaporizing ground it keeps a nice climate in summer.

It is made of 90% materials from our own land: clay, olive and ash beams, crushed reed, esparto and rush.

It has a natural meatsafe, a bread oven which transforms into a stove, a fireplace and a radiant wall and with a powerful sound system running on 12 V.

In this space there is the community mandala, a game with which we coordinate the living together.
