The symmetric facade disposition is really awful.
the first floor plan however is quite interesting.

this is maybe the worst ordos projecto shown in archdaily. the garden, old and repeated idea. the distribution , the form itself , really bad.

just in case….i didnt like the project.

The Neto bit is the inverted-droplet hammock/cloaca thing that the kid is climbing on in the section. Who cares if it looks like Neto? When was the last time you actually climbed inside of a Neto flacid hanging thing? This one is occupiable.

Anyway, I appreciate this house a container of potentially great experiences; a domestic cabinet of curiosities. Thats how a house becomes a home, as Luther Vandross says.

What could this possibly have to do with Neto? Obviously, all of these projects so far have looked a bit more self conscious than we’d like for real buildings. But isn’t that sort of the point of a project like this? Maybe a more reasonable building would look out of place and unreasonable in a neighborhood like this.

we have no right to judege how beautiful the garden it is, untill we have spent one night there after it stands up.

but,believe me, to include a private garden in your house, in that desert enviroment, IS A GOOD IDEA.

its an attempt to rip-off some ideas from Takaharu + Yui Tezuka kindergarten – i may be wrong….

i really like the idea of the interior garden. so many positive effects from it.

however, the cladding doesn’t make sense to me.

Sometimes simple ideas are spectacularly beautiful, and sometimes they’re just bland…

This looks a concept model, not a project. Throwing asymmetrical stones and windows on it doesn’t help much either.

Wow! What a strange, exciting idea! I like gardens best among public spaces, and this appropriately centers around a garden. It looks potentially impractical, but if it works, it would be a great place to live, especially in Mongolia! Aside from Sou Fujimoto, this is the most memorable ORDOS for me so far.
