swedish firm tham & videgard hansson arkitekter have designed a villa for the ordos 100 project in inner mongolia, china. using a new topography that takes full advantages of its surroundings the house starts with the pool at lower garden level and reaches up to the top roof terrace open to the sky. interior spaces follow the movement, a rising spiral around the structural core, the stairs. as a result the program is distributed on a series of interior terraces. predominant materials used are exposed concrete (facades, floors, ceiling and core-staircase), plywood panel on interior walls, etched glass and ceramic for pools.

So far I like this one the most, it’s a really interesting concept. It would be really great to have a house like this or a condo living space, with open verandas.
