Can Brull: a place to live, create, and gather

Our aim is to bring together what is usually kept apart.

Can Brull is a property in Montseny and also a shared project. It is Mariano and Maga’s home, but it is not only a private house. It is a place where land, craft, creation, food, fire, and shared life can belong to the same practice.

We are not trying to build a closed or finished place. We want to sustain a living platform, with shared spaces, tools, and rhythms, where different people can come to learn, contribute, develop projects, and care for the place.

Land and regeneration

Regenerative agriculture is one of Can Brull’s foundations. We want to learn from permaculture, regenerative gardening, syntropic agroforestry, and soil-care practices, always adapting them to Montseny’s climate, water, forest, and local conditions.

The property works as a practical laboratory. We observe, test, correct, and test again. Regeneration here is not an abstract idea. It happens through compost, water retention, biodiversity, food production, and the daily relationship with the land.

Craft, ceramics, and fire

Can Brull is also home to Maga’s pottery project. Ceramics, wood-fired kilns, clay, ash, and glazes connect the work of the studio with the territory.

Fire is not only a technique. It also gathers people. Cooking, firing pieces, sharing a table, or preparing a kiln are concrete ways of learning through matter, time, and collaboration.

Community and presence

Can Brull needs people, but not just any presence. We are looking for careful, useful, and honest ways of living together. Some people will come for a few days, others for a season, others may develop a residency, a workshop, or a longer collaboration.

What matters is not duration, but intention. Coming to Can Brull means taking part in the daily life of the place: caring for spaces, cooking, working the land, helping in the studio, welcoming people, and sustaining shared rhythms.

Projects and collaboration

Can Brull is designed as a platform for projects that make sense within the place. Ceramics, agriculture, mushrooms, residencies, workshops, cooking, building, material research, and living culture can cross paths without losing their own identity.

Projects should contribute to the place that supports them. We want value to circulate: to maintain infrastructure, open new possibilities, and make room for those who come next.

We do not promise to have everything figured out. We are learning how to care for boundaries, organize work, avoid burnout, handle conflict, and keep a functional community. What we do know is that Can Brull is not built all at once. It is built in layers, through work, listening, and presence.

Can Brull exists for that: to bring together what is usually kept apart and give it shape in a real territory.
