About Monolithic House Privat Villa
Monolithic House er en privat villa i Jeddah. Bygningen består af tre hovedvolumener, der er forskudt for at skabe udendørs gårdrum, i overensstemmelse med opbygningen af traditionelle arabiske huse. Klimaskærmen anvender semitransparente skærme med et gammelt saudisk mønster inspireret af Mashrabiya. Et motoriseret, oplukkeligt system regulerer sollyset, giver skygge og privatliv på sydfacaden og muliggør naturlig ventilation. Konstruktionen er i beton, afsluttet med slebet travertinsten, sort stål, puds og valnøddetræ. Separate indgange betjener familie, gæster og servicefunktioner.

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.
