This suburban villa was built by the flour industrialist Don Juan Solans, alongside his factory (La Nueva Harinera), to a project by the architect Miguel Angel Navarro.

Its design and decoration make it a fine example of private, eclectic, sumptuary architecture, with bright, colourful Levantine tiles depicting signs from the zodiac on the western façade being of particular interest.

In 1921 the building suffered a fire and in 1926, Juan Solans died, his wife settled in the house. Later, due to the damage suffered during the Civil War, he commissioned a new reform of the building in February 1943, which was never carried out.

The tiles and mosaics that decorate its exterior and interior were brought from factories located in Castellón and Valencia, and La Veneciana S.A. de Zaragoza was commissioned to make the stained glass windows.

From 2005 to 2015 it was the United Nations Office in support of the Water Decade.
