A Symmetrical Arrangement of Regular Octagons, Triangles, and Squares

This contains twelve octagons, six squares, and eight triangles. The “holes” in it keep it from being a true polyhedron, but it is my hope than further study of this arrangement may lead to the discovery of new, interesting, and symmetrical polyhedra.
