Elephant Hut

2 guests | 6m2

“A retreat back into nature and the beautiful basics of everyday life. Fall asleep with the trees and wake up with the birds.”

In this wooden shelter, which was built from 99% rescued materials, you will fully immerse into nature.

Natural materials build your home, standing tall on legs made out of a burned tree from the fires of 2022, keeping your feet dry during rainy days and fresh during summer nights. Your infinite garden will be yours to explore, starting with the food forest right in front of your door, followed by a natural pool and the massive natural park of Arrábida.

After a long day your panoramic windows will let you catch the last sunrays before diving into the night with the sounds of frogs and stars in the dark sky.

Elephant Hut enquiry

explore our venue

Metal Studio

With rhythmic hammer swings, glowing metal deforms and reforms. Bend, melt, grind, and shape ideas into forms.

Greenhouse

So Green!!

Sometimes a music studio, sometimes a pop-up dining experience, sometimes a filmset, sometimes a tiny disco and other times just a peaceful greenhouse.

Clay Studio

With patience you mold and with fire you eternalize. Learn how to shape earth to hold water or to become art in its purest form.

Fabric Studio

Your personal pimping station - sew, cut, personalise, rip apart, silkscreen, stitch back together, embroider, stain, wear, repeat.

Woodwork

Nothing that some screws and nails can not hold together. Build a table, carve a spoon, construct a sculpture, get lost in details or see the bigger picture.

Bar/Eventspace

You need an open space to practice new skills? You want to host a workshop sharing your knowledge? You want to participate in an art market?

Food Forest

Where trees secretly grow and birds build families. Steal fruits during the summer and nurture the soil with us during boring winter days.
