About Monolithic House Villa privata
Monolithic House è una villa privata a Gedda. L'edificio è composto da tre volumi principali sfalsati tra loro per creare corti esterne, secondo la disposizione delle tradizionali case arabe. L'involucro utilizza schermature semitrasparenti con un antico motivo saudita ispirato alla Mashrabiya. Un sistema apribile motorizzato regola la luce solare, garantisce ombreggiatura e privacy sul prospetto sud e consente la ventilazione naturale. La struttura è in calcestruzzo, rifinita con pietra travertino levigata, acciaio nero, stucco e legno di noce. Ingressi separati servono la famiglia, gli ospiti e i servizi.

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.
