About Pixelhouse Bangunan Kediaman
Pixelhouse ialah sebuah bangunan kediaman yang direka sebagai rumah bagi sebuah keluarga besar di Ahmedabad, India. Reka bentuk ini mengimbangi keperluan privasi dengan kehidupan keluarga bersama merentasi tiga tingkat. Sisian dan volum bertindan mewujudkan bentuk berperingkat dengan balkoni terlindung dan teres bertanaman yang turut berfungsi sebagai kawasan berkumpul luar. Sebuah tangga atrium pusat diterangi oleh tingkap bumbung, dan setiap bilik air menerima cahaya siang dari atas. Kayu, batu, bata terdedah dan konkrit memberikan jisim terma, manakala penuaian air hujan, panel solar dan cermin dua lapis mengurangkan penggunaan tenaga.

- 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
