About Pixelhouse 주거용 건물

픽셀하우스(Pixelhouse)는 인도 아메다바드에 거주하는 대가족의 주택으로 설계된 주거용 건물이다. 이 설계는 3개 층에 걸쳐 사생활 보호의 필요성과 가족 공동생활 사이의 균형을 이룬다. 오프셋과 적층된 매스는 계단식 형태를 만들어내며, 이를 통해 조성된 그늘진 발코니와 식재된 테라스는 야외 모임 공간으로도 활용된다. 중앙 아트리움 계단은 천창을 통해 자연광을 받아들이며, 모든 욕실 역시 상부에서 유입되는 자연광을 누린다. 목재, 석재, 노출 벽돌과 콘크리트는 열용량을 확보해 주고, 우수 집수 시스템과 태양광 패널, 이중 유리는 에너지 사용량을 절감한다.

Unique Properties
The energy efficient systems incorporated are double glazing unit glass rainwater harvesting solar panels electric charger at parking inverter based air conditioners and oxygen generating local species of plants encouraging biodiversity basic material palette wood stone concrete selected to maintain the thermal mass the central atrium staircase lit from the skylight the walls are cladded in bricks to reduce the heat quotient and sharp reflection all heating ventilation and air conditioning components of the design are programmed to local climate patterns
Dimensions & Packaging
Material expression in architecture and interiors is minimal and aligned to the natural direction stone wood and exposed brick is teamed with simple lime plaster all bathrooms feature skylights so that they enjoy the same connection to the outdoors rooms on the ground floor are connected to the landscaping they need to step out of the large openings while the living features double height glazing the dining extends into a deck sheltering under a pergola

Production Technology
The composition connected communal zones spread across the three floors also looking for opportunities to expand the garden area within the internal spaces and the terracing concept allows the spatial framework to bind these two interests together this is achieved by creating a continuity of setbacks on each subsequent level adjoined by greens all bathrooms feature skylights thus enjoying the same connection to the outdoors as the rest of the interior
Design Challenge
Several challenges were maximizing the area of the house and optimizing the view to the north garden creating an open approach for a more intensified spatial quality providing opportunities devising a construction strategy to keep the home weatherproof during its transformation with minimal maintenance and aesthetic expression went hand in hand including the more sensitive subject of the environment a series of outdoor congregational areas are built into the very fabric of the building
Research
The spatial programme fulfils the need for privacy and shared spaces weaving together greens sunlight and connections to the outside to create a series of offsets and stacked volumes create a stepped form and explores the idea of sheltered balconies overhangs and to allow each room to face the front north garden and as a response to the regions hot dry climate a part of the second storey towards the north is cantilevered to provide shelter for a terrace to the rear and provide protection
Inspiration
the antipodal requirements of privacy and togetherness drove the idea and development of this villa which was to be the home of an extended family the rcc cuboid canopy was created for protection and a shelter to the entrance and as a welcome space the double height is quite volumetric so after studying the sun path they created openings and invited sunlight from the east and the west the intervention was in response to the built environment incorporating biophilia features
Project Duration
Start date June 2018 in Ahmedabad
End date December 2019 in Ahmedabad
Operation Flow
the manifestation of the pixel concept seen at the entrance via broad platform steps and the canopy above articulated as an exposed concrete structure perforated square cutouts in varying sizes incorporated by large custom made brass lamps suspended in this sheltering element the main door bears a similar design handle in continuum to the entire composition the highlight is the staircase block the stepped form of the architectural envelope through a series of stepped planters expanding garden
