About Monolithic House Yksityishuvila

Monolithic House on yksityishuvila Jeddassa. Rakennus koostuu kolmesta päämassasta, jotka on siirretty toisiinsa nähden ulkopihojen luomiseksi perinteisten arabialaisten talojen sommittelun mukaisesti. Rakennuksen vaippa hyödyntää puoliläpinäkyviä säleikköjä, joiden vanha saudiarabialainen kuviointi on saanut inspiraationsa Mashrabiyasta. Moottoroitu avattava järjestelmä säätelee auringonvaloa, tarjoaa varjostusta ja yksityisyyttä eteläjulkisivulla sekä mahdollistaa luonnollisen ilmanvaihdon. Rakenne on betonia, ja pintamateriaaleina on käytetty hiottua travertiinikiveä, mustaa terästä, rappausta ja pähkinäpuuta. Erilliset sisäänkäynnit palvelevat perhettä, vieraita ja huoltotoimintoja.

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.
