Experience Architecture

Solo Houses is an immersive architectural destination beside the natural park of Puertos de Tortosa-Beceite in Matarraña, less than a three hour drive from Barcelona.

 

An ongoing development, Solo Houses is a collection of homes designed by architects at the avant-garde of the field, who are given complete creative freedom to expand the possibilities of architecture. The houses are all immersed in a 200-hectare striking natural environment, with the mountains of the natural park as backdrop.

 

The homes are available to rent, inviting visitors to experience a one-of-a-kind architectural retreat. So far, houses designed by Pezo von Ellrichshausen and Office KGDVS have been built and are widely considered as some of the most extraordinary homes in the world.

 

Inspired by the historical initiative Case Study Houses, Solo Houses was founded in 2010 by gallerists Eva Albarrán and Christian Bourdais, who commissioned designs by some of the most relevant architects working today with the objective of establishing an immersive collection of architectural masterpieces. 

 

Thoughtfully furnished and equipped with complementary electric bikes, Solo Houses are at the footsteps of an array of picturesque medieval villages and hiking and cycling routes across the secluded nature reserves of Matarraña.

 

Working to promote and preserve the natural beauty of the site, the homes at Solo Houses are energetically self-sufficient, in which emphasis is put on design quality and a respectful approach to the surrounding landscape. 

 

Besides the homes, Solo Houses comprises neighbouring organic winery Venta d’Aubert and Solo Sculpture Trail, an outdoor park with sculptures by renowned artists across over 3 kilometres of diverse landscapes of vineyards, olive grooves and oak forests.

 

Overall, Solo Houses establishes a stimulating cultural destination that aims to nurture discussions around contemporary design, art and nature.
