Pezo Von Ellrichshausen Architects for Solo Houses

Close-knit collections of up to a dozen buildings are planned, designed to function as second homes - the architectural equivalent of haute couture.

The debut Solo Houses collection will be set in southern Catalonia, in the Matarranya region. The first commission, set to open in September this year, is being designed by Pezo Von Ellrichshausen Architects, a Chilean practice founded by Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen.
