Ventilation Design development

The air circulation of the house is formed in a way that it expresses horizontal as well as vertical movements to acheive ventilation in different corners of the house. The staircase is the main source of ventilation in both ground and first floor. Due to more exposure and the presence of windows, (built in a way to access views, light and wind) the air ventilation is bound to be more.

The progression from initial concept to a detailed and refined structure, incorporating technical aspects, structural considerations, and project requirements.

Site Model

The final layout of the house has been made, hence the reasoning behind this layout is due to the environmental crisis of the site as well as to consider the convenience of the author in order to place the studio. According to the sun direction, light enters the house at its fullest including the inner courtyard, the house is typically built in a way that there are more windows for light and circulation access. Hence the process of construction is established due to the direction of the sunlight in many area of the house in which the author will be able to accomplish his work authorities in any possible zone of the house. The placement of the underground and the inner courtyard is developed for the benefit of the author in order to receive more privacy including the view overlooked of the open space surrounding the house.
