In May 2017, the second Solo House, a series of holiday homes was completed. The ring-shaped house threads between the trees on a plateau site, providing views of the surrounding forest and landscape.

Located in the mountainous region of Matarraña, the house has been designed by the Brussels-based architects Office Kersten Geers David Van Severen for the French developer Christian Bourdais.

[[File:Solohouse2.jpg]]

The architects decided that due to the impressive scenery at the site, to render the architecture ‘invisible’, and instead emphasise the natural qualities of the surroundings. The house comprises a simple, circular roof with a diameter of 45 m, supported by four rows of eight columns that intersect at various points with the circumference of the circle.

The columns are anchored by concrete foundations and three of the four sections formed by the straight and curved edges enclose the living areas.

[[File:Solohouse3.jpg]]

The outer portions of the circle incorporate sliding facade sections made from expanded metal mesh that provide dappled shade and privacy when closed. These can be drawn aside to completely open up the rooms to the outdoors.

The remaining spaces beneath the curving roof are left open to the elements. These terraces look out towards the landscape, which extends into the space at the centre of the building.

The off-grid dwelling relies on solar panels for heating and electricity, while water is collected and purified on site by tanks and a filtration system on the building's roof.

The artist Pieter Vermeersch applied a gradient in acrylic paint to the two cylindrical volumes that emerge from the roof to accommodate the utilites.
