Function: The design function of this house depends on a combination of factors to form the general idea of design. First, the use of blocks with slightly salient - almost flat- to solve the problem of houses built near the street and the lack of sufficient depth separating the street from the beginning of the house

Fortunately, the house has a good longitudinal facade so I decided to take advantage of the width by making the house look one piece prominent.

The second task of the design by using vertical strips (screen) to break and prevent absorb sunlight and reduce wind speed by breaking between the slides, keep in mind that the facade close to the street and almost directly exposed to sunlight

 The main mass consists of a collection of rectangular blocks. The concrete was used in the main block to give the mass a huge look and rough texture With a pattern similar to that of a wooden mold before casting into the concrete to give the feeling of being a monolith to form one piece . As for the use of wood material in the slides for several reasons, the first is to break the roughness of the concrete texture in order to inlay the facade. Depending on the visual impact where the eye is affected by irregular materials texture and focus on them. Reverse those smooth materials. As well as the use of window frames and doors of wood material for the purpose of linking the elements of the facade.Last but not least, black granite has been used for a variety of reasons, as the rule says, all far dark. The second purpose of the granite is the places of friction near the users of the house where it was used near the doors and windows. Because the concrete can not be placed because it may cause scratches for people who use the house in the event of being touched by children or unintentional friction during living

Conclusion: All blocks and materials and method of formation combine to create a house of integrated spirit and treatment of the most important construction problems near the street.
