Ordos 100 is a massive project that is being developed for Jiang Yuan Water Engineering Ltd in Ordos, Inner Mongolia(China) which involves the construction of 100 Villas designed by 100 acclaimed architects from 27 different countries.
Divided into two phases, the first phase encompasses 28 villas while the second phase includes the rest. Each architect is given 1000 square meters of land to work with and display their creativity. It is to be expected that the concepts put forward by the participating architects would actually be constructed on the specific piece of land if approved. The ever delightful architecture blog Arch Daily has a comprehensive report and analysis on each house on their site. If you are interested in the plans and details of each house, you will find it there. But here is quick round up of our favorites.

The immediate context drove the decision of designing an introvert villa. As a result of the extreme weather, it has been chosen to bury the house taking advantage of the generosity of underground temperatures and therefore neutralizing the harsh winter and summer weather conditions.
On the other hand, realizing the good weather during spring and autumn times, the villa responds to this duality by leaving a part of the construction completely exposed, and therefore completely extrovert. This way, the villa celebrates the duality of an introvert-extrovert house.

section 01

By taking advantage of the apparent duplicity of the required areas, eighty percent of the program has been maintained in a “big villa” (buried), which lives around an internal courtyard, in a scheme that promotes family interaction and emphasizes the sence of community. The duplicate program is separated and put into a mass equals to the size of the courtyard, thus creating a private “small villa” (floating) which gains the views and gives any family member the opportunity of temporal isolation.


By dividing the program (underground and floating), the ground floor is freed allowing it to be used as public space without loosing privacy.
The main landscape idea, is to suggest a forest within a desert environment. This forest is made out of steel columns that act as “camouflage” for the floating villa’s structure, and also gives the visitors a consciousness of trespassing private area.
