About Monolithic House Bhile Prìobhaideach

'S e bhile prìobhaideach ann an Jeddah a th' ann an Taigh Monolitheach. Tha an togalach air a dhèanamh suas de thrì prìomh thomadan a tha air an gluasad gus cùirtean a-muigh a chruthachadh, a' leantainn rian nan taighean traidiseanta Arabach. Tha an cèis a' cleachdadh sgrìnichean leth-thrìd-shoilleir le seann phàtran Sàudach air a bhrosnachadh leis a' Mhashrabiya. Tha siostam motarach a ghabhas fosgladh a' riaghladh solas na grèine, a' toirt sgàile agus prìobhaideachd air an aghaidh a deas, agus a' ceadachadh fionnarachadh nàdarra. 'S e concrait a th' anns an structar, air a chrìochnachadh le clach travertine lìomhte, stàilinn dhubh, stucco agus fiodh gallchno. Tha slighean a-steach fa leth a' frithealadh teaghlach, aoighean agus seirbheisean.

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.
