Solar House is an ultra-luxury mansion in Dubai which stands as a testament to WalkThru's commitment to bringing together ingenuity, sustainability, and cutting-edge technology. Designed by XBD Collective, and built by WalkThru, this award-winning residence represents a paradigm shift in sustainable living.

At the heart of Solar House's sustainability credentials is its dynamic solar Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) facade, which harnesses solar power to offset the home’s energy needs through the installation of over 200 sizes of energy generating BIPV panels. The project also uses a system that captures 10-15% of moisture to convert into usable water. A greywater system supplies recycled water for irrigation. These strategies implemented by WalkThru reduces the electricity and water bills to almost zero. 

Solar House pushes the boundaries of what is possible in residential construction. It features the longest glass bridge in a residential project measuring 11.5 meters, Dubai's first two-story swimming pool with a 10-meter cantilever box supported by high-strength concrete V-shaped columns. Collaboration with specialized glass suppliers ensured the bridge's transparency without discoloration, adding both architectural and structural innovation to the project.

Rigorous quality control measures, efficient project management techniques, and innovative construction methods by WalkThru ensured the minimization of material wastage and reduced environmental impact. Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) initiatives were paramount during construction, with comprehensive safety protocols, rigorous personnel training, well-defined emergency response procedures, and proactive environmental protection measures in place.

In compliance with Dubai Green Building regulations and specifications, Solar House has earned recognition from Dubai Municipality as the largest completely solar-powered building in the area, emerging as a beacon for eco-conscious homes.

Ramasamy Subramanian, Project Advisor and Client Representative of Solar House said “The realization of this cutting-edge luxury design that incorporated best practices in sustainability and healthy living was a remarkable process, one which Walkthru was instrumental in. Their commitment to quality and efficiency was a major player in this project’s success.”
