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
