It is a good strategy in north China, hiding the main part underground. The skim tower is also an excellent approach to be implicitly special among ordos 100 houses. I love this project.

I kind of like some of the geometry. The renderings are a bit cold but they are renderings not the real building. Put some people in there and some art on the walls and furniture and curtains and everything and it will warm up. This isn’t as bad as some of the other Ordos houses.
