About Slabs House 주거용 주택

Slab House는 목재, 콘크리트 및 강철을 결합하여 건축 자재를 병치하도록 설계되었습니다. 디자인은 초현대적이면서도 신중합니다. 거대한 창문은 즉각적인 초점이지만 콘크리트 슬래브로 날씨와 거리 전망으로부터 보호됩니다. 정원은 1 층과 1 층 모두 부지의 특징을 이루고있어 주민들이 부지와 상호 작용할 때 자연과 연결되어 있다는 느낌을받을 수있어 입구에서 생활 공간으로 이동할 때 독특한 흐름을 만들어냅니다.

Unique Properties
The Slab House interplays liberally between the use of all the main materials used in its construction; wood, concrete, and steel to make the living experience both visually appealing and tactile. The use of floor to ceiling windows accompanied by twinning concrete slabs separated by strips of space creates an informal, yet structured juxtaposition between the two materials.
Dimensions & Packaging
The plot is 20M X 30M and has a total area of 600 sqm. The plot is open at the street side with and is 16m above street level at its highest point. The property consists 3 floors above ground with storage. At ground level there is a 140 sqm garden, the second floor has a terrace garden. On the roof is a storage area which allows all mechanical and electrical units to be housed away from the primary residence.

Production Technology
Slabs House is a concrete structure with steel structures and a blend of finishing materials including concrete, white sigma, and Basalt stone. This production juxtaposed past and present, new and old materials, and brought in some historical markers of Kuwait's construction to evoke history.
Design Challenge
The biggest challenge was to realize the design which called for windows running from the top to the bottom of the property, in a country in which privacy and security are paramount. The final design allowed the full windows to be used while maintaining privacy through the use of concrete slabs.
Research
The research portion of the design included looking at the contemporary residential area, the existing houses and how this property would fit in the landscape. In addition, our team explored traditional architecture and construction methods to connect the past to the present through construction.
Inspiration
The initial design developed from the idea of having a residential home that contained and was modern, intimate, open and private. The residence uses concrete slabs to interplay between what cannot be seen viewing from the street view, to the openness and freedom of the experience from a person inside the house looking outside.
Project Duration
The project was designed throughout 2018 and was undertaken fully in Kuwait.
Operation Flow
The interplay between the different construction materials guide and welcome visitors into the core of the property. By featuring gardens on both ground and first floors, we bring the feeling that the outside and the inside are mixing, while protecting the inside from the extreme heat and weather conditions by using steel and concrete.
