Ordos 100 'Villa 066'
SIZE
10,000 sqft - 25,000 sqft
BUDGET
$1M - 5M
Client: Cai Jiang, Ordos Jiang Yuan Water Engineering Co., Ltd, with FAKE design
Status: On Hold
Description:
Villa 066 derives its conceptual clarity from the austerity of the Mongolian landscape. A vast horizon , clear skies, chasms, shifts and deep crevasses. These conditions are presented in a disciplined geometric interpretation, represented as three different worlds, split horizontally and linked by penetrations of light and space.
From a distance, the building appears as a tower partially submerged and split horizontally in the middle, employing a potent gesture of shifting and rotating. A glass volume situated between two solid blocks creates a singular expression and sets a tension between interiority and exteriority, fragility and tenacity and the ephemeral and eternal.
