HHF House for Ordos100

The project is one of 100 private houses which are going to be built within the next two years by 100 different architects. The master plan is part of the new urban development of the city of Ordos in Inner Mongolia, China. The physical context for the Ordos 100 project is limited to climatical conditions and some few regulations by the master plan done by FAKE Design. Our project makes an issue out of the fact that 99 other architects are simultaneously and independently planning 99 houses with an identical program within the same master plan. The outer shape of the building and the shed roof is directly developed as an embossed writing of the letters HHF, acronym of the architects and name of the office. This logo can only be read from the air or in the model. From the street level the writing is never readable. From the ground, the shape of the roof reflects the diverse light situations and various shapes of the rooms inside the building. Within Ordos 100, this project is simply the HHF house.
