This collection of modern architect-designed villas in Spain, Solo Houses, is currently on the market.

Solo Houses is an initiative whereby international designers are commissioned to design original 200m2 holiday homes, which express their design philosophy. The programme encourages innovation in architecture and creates a new offering for those seeking modern, architect-designed properties.

The first collection of houses is set in Matarraña, a region of southern Catalonia, two hours from Barcelona. The first house to complete, Casa Pezo, by Chilean architect Pezo Von Ellrichshausen, is a hollowed monolithic concrete structure. Appearing to float above a canopy of trees, it offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Work is shortly to begin on a house by Sou Fujimoto. Other architects commissioned to design and build homes in this collection are Mos Office, Didier Faustino and his studio Mésarchitectures, Studio Mumbai, and TNA – Takei-Nabeshima-Architects.

Open days for the project will take place on 17th-18th December.

For enquiries about the open days, or purchasing one of the Solo Houses, on or off-site, please contact The Modern House via email or telephone.
