About Monolithic House Vile Phríobháideach

Is vile phríobháideach in Jeddah é Teach Monailiteach. Tá an foirgneamh comhdhéanta de thrí phríomh-mhais atá aistrithe chun cúirteanna seachtracha a chruthú, ag leanúint leagan amach na dtithe traidisiúnta Arabacha. Úsáideann an clúdach scáileáin leath-thrédhearcacha le seanphatrún Sádach a fuair inspioráid ón Mashrabiya. Rialaíonn córas inoscailte mótarthiomáinte solas na gréine, tugann sé scáthú agus príobháideachas ar an aghaidh theas, agus ceadaíonn sé aeráil nádúrtha. Is coincréit í an struchtúr, críochnaithe le cloch traiveirtín líofa, cruach dhubh, stucó agus adhmad gallchnó. Freastalaíonn bealaí isteach ar leith ar an teaghlach, ar aíonna agus ar sheirbhísí.

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.
