Big Brother House - Ultra-Modern Residential Design in Inner Mongolia, China

This modern house by Julien De Smedt Architects was designed for the Ordos 100 project in Inner Mongolia, China. One of 100 participating designs, Big Brother house is a 1,000-sq.-meter structure where you can be seen at any place, at any time, hence its name. In terms of interior environment, this house functions like an igloo, with a cooler exterior layer insulating the interior. In terms of layout, Big Brother House boasts a central atrium, surrounded by a series of stacked, open-ended boxes that make up the individual living areas. At the very top, a lone cube houses the master bedroom. The open boxes and their voids allow for natural ventilation, not to mention a curiously contemporary concept for the future of residential design. Julien De Smedt Architects
