Villa N°14 by Dellekamp Arquitectos
Here's a fourth house design for the Ordos 100 project in Inner Mongolia, this time by Mexican architects Dellekamp.
100 international architects were invited by a local entrepreneur to each design one 1000 square metre villa. The architects were selected by Herzog & de Meuron and the masterplan is by artist Ai Wei Wei.
See our earlier stories for more Ordos 100 projects by architects Julien de Smedt, Luca Selva and Estudio Barozzi Veiga.
The following is from Dellekamp Arquitectos:
--
Villa N°14 / Ordos 100
Concept
A=1
A container that holds everything with the simplicity of the single line that conforms an ellipse.
A clear object that shows the mass of the program as a statement of ownership to the site.
A free standing structure contained in a continuous form that allows free flow of the open space.
A monolith that clearly suggest the urban relevance of this lot as an entrance to the 100 Villa Compound.
A central gathering of service areas as well as vertical circulations.
