VILLA P

 

Team Leader: Assaf Diamond + Yifat Finkelman

WHEN FACING THE MEDITERRANEAN A HOUSE SHOULD EXHALE ITS BREATH AND ENJOY THE VIEW. THIS VILLA IS A GLASS BOX WHICH DOES EXACTLY THAT.

ONE CONCRETE WALL MARKS THE ENTRANCE DOOR WHILE ALL OTHER FACES  ALLOW A VIEW TO THE MEDITERRANEAN  FROM EACH AND EVERY CORNER OF THE HOUSE.

THE EXPOSED NATURE OF THE PROJECT REQUIRED AN OUTER SKIN TO ENABLE THE DWELLERS A SENSE OF PRIVACY AND PROTECTION FROM THE HORRID SUN.

ELECTRONICALLY CLIMATE CONTROLLED BRILLE – SOLEIL WERE CHOSEN AS THE HOUSE ENVELOPING SUIT, ONE WHICH THE HOUSE COULD WEAR AND REMOVE ACCORDING TO ITS NEEDS. A NEW FAÇADE TYPOLOGY WAS BORN.

AS EACH AND EVERY SPACES OF THE HOUSE HAS ITS OWN CONTROL OVER THE SHADING MECHANISM THE FACADES BECOME THE SIGNIFIERS OF THE ACTIVITIES WITHIN.

OBSERVING THE HOUSE FROM THE STREET ONE COULD ACTUALLY READ FROM THE ANGLE OF THE BRILLE – SOLEIL THE DAILY CHRONICLES OF THE PLACE AND THAT OF THE FAMILY LIFE.
