for the ordos 100 project in inner mongolia china polaris architects have
designed 'showcase study house'. the building aims to meet the expectations
of an art collector, a gallery owner or an artist.
the main exhibition hall constitutes the core of the villa.
all other functions are located in two wings, one on each side
of the main hall. the master bedroom, dining and living rooms
are oriented southward. the other bedrooms, the kitchen
and the garage are located in the second wing. the underground
level, open to the garden, includes an indoor swimming pool,
a gym and a sauna. the garden is foreseen to serve as
an additional exhibition and event space , and also features
an outdoor swimming pool.
all bearing walls are made of cast-in-place concrete. the design
offers a continuous envelope made of thick rigid insulation in order
to achieve low to passive energy performance. the facade is strongly
insulated, coated and painted according to a specific pattern.
the roof is made of wood carpentry, insulated and covered by zinc.
