About Monolithic House Vivenda Privada
A Monolithic House é uma vivenda privada em Jeddah. O edifício é composto por três volumes principais, desalinhados entre si de modo a criar pátios exteriores, seguindo a organização das casas árabes tradicionais. A envolvente recorre a painéis semitransparentes com um antigo padrão saudita inspirado na Mashrabiya. Um sistema motorizado de abertura regula a luz solar, proporciona sombreamento e privacidade na fachada sul e permite a ventilação natural. A estrutura é em betão, com acabamentos em pedra travertino polida, aço preto, estuque e madeira de nogueira. Entradas independentes servem a família, os convidados e os serviços.

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.
