Construction Update - Daxing Villa Rising

Construction continues on the North Elevation of the Daxing Villa, where the crew is infilling block masonry into a structural frame of reinforced concrete.

The villa was conceived as a collection of stacked stone volumes that pinwheel around a central courtyard, where a light-filled garden gives light and focus to the inward living spaces.

To the top left, an exterior terrace will lead to a roof garden; top right, a child's bedroom; bottom right, a kitchen and pantry are separated from service quarters and a service entry (bottom left) by a vertical slot that will function as a garden and light well.
