The project is focused on environmental factors in order to create a micro-cosmos on site, an oasis in the Ordos desert.

The project is composed of two spatial systems.

• WALL; functioning as a wind barrier, a good micro-climate The wall surrounds an inner courtyard with 3 storeys above ground level and 1 storey below.

• BOXES; functioning as containers for living ativities. The boxes are placed in a vertical order according to the need for daylight and privacy, and horizontally to form a dynamic relationship to each other. Functions requiring a good flow of movement between each other connect in the middle, forming space which opens up in all four directions.
