Why now

Digital saturation has left people hungry for the tangible. Across Europe, extraordinary rural industrial sites sit silent. DUSOL rebuilds the real — reconnecting people to nature, craft, and culture.

“It’s not a metaverse — it’s the opposite.

One asset pays the bills. The other builds the value.

The place

Where nature, culture and access meet

Les Planes d’Hostoles, at the edge of the Garrotxa Natural Park, Girona — surrounded by rivers, forests and waterfalls, between the volcanic landscape of La Garrotxa and the creative corridors of Barcelona and Girona.

A region celebrated for sustainable tourism, gastronomy and wellness — with no comparable cultural micro‑resort or event venue. First‑mover in an established destination.

Vision & sustainability

A regenerative destination

Solar today, hydro next. Built with reclaimed materials and mycelium‑based composites, alongside orchards, gardens, and a mushroom farm that feeds both the kitchen and the construction cycle.

Artists, designers, performers, scientists, journalists, and activists will gather here to collaborate, spark new ideas, and model sustainable ways of living — imagination made tangible, community made real.
