Riding solo
Take a slow cruise around the circular plan of the latest Solo House in the Matarraña region of Spain, designed by Office Kersten Geers David Van Severen (KGDVS)
The film is the first in a series of visual essays, guiding viewers around homes and private spaces across the world created by Folch design studio and produced by Whitehorse in collaboration with Openhouse magazine. The edit brings a new poetic approach to narrative storytelling, cinematically elevating the form of the magazine into three dimensions and capturing the magic of KGDVS’ Solo House, which was recently nominated for a Wallpaper* Design Award.
