mexican firm rojkind arquitectos' design 'gimme shelter' for the ordos 100 project is based on
traditional cave dwellings in china, often referred to as yaodant. the 1000 sq. mr (10,700 sq.ft)
design for ordos, mongolia is engineered to work with the harsh winters and hot summers.


gimme shelter

gimme shelter maintains the underlying principal of nomadic dwellings to provide
shelter from extreme climatic conditions. the design submerges itself into the landscape,
providing warmth through the winter and cool air during the summer with passive solar
and geothermal design elements incorporated.

the multi-floored gimme shelter villa includes a hard protective shell for the extreme
weather conditions. inside the villa, the design provides light-filled spaces with separate
areas for living, working, resting, and interior gardens. the interior gardens help cool
the inside of the building in the summer months.
