‘New type of mixed lifestyle under a forest of arches’

Located in the severe climate of Ordos, the house contains a protected courtyard around which bedrooms and smaller rooms are placed at the perimeter a height of 1 story.

By following traditional methods of residential construction in such climates, a rich and calm interior space and courtyard are created.

5 meters tall concrete arches cover the entire interior space, creating a forest like condition. Within the repetition of the concrete arches, different types of spaces exist that contain varying light conditions, scales and proportions, depending on orientation, adjacencies, and connections between spaces. The intent of such a house is to generate a condition that can support a new type of luxurious mixed-lifestyle living for our generation.
