About Monolithic House Privatvilla

D'Monolithic House ass eng Privatvilla zu Jeddah. D'Gebai besteet aus dräi Haaptmassen, déi verschluecht sinn, fir extern Häff ze schafen, dem Arrangement vun traditionellen arabeschen Haiser nozegoen. D'Enveloppe benotzt hallefduerchsiichteg Schiermer mat engem ale saudesche Muster, inspiréiert vun der Mashrabiya. E motoriséiert opebaart System reguléiert d'Sonneliicht, gëtt Schied a Privatsphär op der Südfassad an erlaabt eng natierlech Ventilatioun. D'Struktur ass aus Bëton, fäerdeggestallt mat geschlaffenem Travertinsteen, schwaarzem Stol, Stuck an Nossbaumholz. Getrennten Entréeë servéieren d'Famill, d'Gäscht an d'Servicer.

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.
