Innovative of switchable smart glazing

Single Residence - Smart House on Corner

Project: Single Residence ( Smart House on Corner )

Contractor: Naga Architects

Location: Dubai, UAE

Time: 2019 / 8

Project designed philosophy

With a relatively small corner site and a one-story project program, the design and layout for this project presented challenges and opportunities at the outset. The mass for the bedrooms takes on a more solid character, while the living and dining was treated with glazing throughout which culminated in a folding and floating roof – the main feature of the house. The small courtyard is adorned by the swimming pool and minimal landscaping against the compound wall. While approaching the property, a glimpse of a monolithic staircase can be seen above the compound wall, which leads to the roof terrace above the bedrooms.
