Solo Hotel by Smiljan Radic

Smiljan Radic Clarke (Santiago de Chile, 1965)

The hotel is designed by the Chilean Smiljan Radic, renowned for an avant-garde architectural practice which draws from a strong relationship with the territory.

The project envisages the construction of 3,300 m2 of covered areas for guests and services and 7,000 m2 including the concrete slab and outdoor areas such as an open-air cinema.

The hotel will be the central hub of the community and a cultural and tourism catalyst for the region, with a programme of cultural and leisure activities including an outdoor cinema, wine and food activities, nature activities and visits to the existing outdoor sculpture trail Solo Sculpture Trail, among many others.

Ongoing collaborators such as critic and curator Hans Ulrich Obrist and landscape architect Bas Smets are involved in the project – respectively, for the development of the cultural programme and the landscaping project, developed with native species.

The hotel will have a positive impact on the local community, generating a significant economic investment in the region throughout the construction phase, for which Solo Houses will continue to work with local builders and suppliers. Once built, it will create over 30 full-time jobs. In addition, Smiljan Radic works in collaboration with Spanish architects Miquel Mariné, César Rueda and Beatriz Borque for the project.
