THE STORY OF SOLANA

20 YEARS IN THE MAKING

No strangers to the luxury outdoor industry, Ryan and Sozan Hughes made waves entering the market 20+ years ago with Ryan Hughes Design—a now internationally-renown outdoor living design build mega-brand. Throughout the years, the Hughes duo dedicated endless time and energy to globally-sourcing premium and custom materials for their multi-million-dollar projects and along the way, they built relationships that last.
