About Monolithic House Soukromá vila

Monolithic House je soukromá vila v Džiddě. Budova se skládá ze tří hlavních hmot, které jsou vzájemně posunuty tak, aby vytvářely vnější nádvoří podle uspořádání tradičních arabských domů. Obálka budovy využívá polopropustné stínicí panely se starým saúdským vzorem inspirovaným prvkem mašrabíja. Motorizovaný otevíratelný systém reguluje sluneční světlo, zajišťuje stínění a soukromí na jižní fasádě a umožňuje přirozené větrání. Konstrukce je betonová, s povrchovou úpravou z broušeného travertinu, černé oceli, štuku a ořechového dřeva. Samostatné vstupy slouží rodině, hostům a provozním službám.

Unique Properties: Conceptual idea was to explore the architecture relation between indoor and outdoor spaces, through a composition of three main masses that were shifted to create external courts inspired from Arabic traditional houses. The house envelope was designed using semi-transparent screens, with old Saudi pattern that was inspired by (Mashrabiya), that have been used to give a dynamic visual interaction, guaranteeing privacy and shading on the south facade, and regulating the entry of sunlight by motorized openable system, while always allowing natural ventilation.
