Y52 is a zero energy, single-family residence which is a stone’s throw away from DHA Raya Phase 6. Y52 integrates a 15 kVA rooftop solar panel system with energy efficient building materials and appliances that balances energy consumption with renewable generation thereby maintaining a carbon neutral footprint. The use of flyash bricks in the superstructure not only increases the structural load bearing capacity of the residence but also augments thermal insulation and ingress of dampness due to its low water absorption ratio. Electric hob stoves and tankless geysers reduce energy consumption whilst accentuating the aesthetic appeal of the house.

The design employs a contemporary modern yet minimalist design language, defined by clean volumes, geometric forms, and a refined material palette. A gentle rain curtain waterfall is the focal point of the floorplan providing an air of serenity and peacefulness to both the interior and exterior spaces. Soft landscaping and cascading greenery further add to the sustainable aspect of the design balancing nature and manmade composites.

Spatially, the house is naturally lit, ensuring ample daylight and cross ventilation while leaving room for segregating spaces through tall glass doors. The layout accommodates five bedrooms organized efficiently to maximize usable space while maintaining privacy. A designer kitchen accessable from multiple points is paired with an industrial kitchen that provides the perfect compromise between aesthetic design & practical use.
