This passive cooling strategy is awesome!

Passive cooling for the win! This unique design maximizes wind capture, distributing it throughout the house. The red clay tiles are not only beautiful but also have openings that facilitate natural ventilation, keeping the home pleasantly cool ❄🌿 #shorts

How well does evaporative cooling work in such high humidity area like Vietnam? For example, when I researched evaporative cooling machines here in the USA, I read that they become increasingly ineffective when air is above 40% humidity. Viet-Nam is usually varies from 70 to 86%.

And the roof design funnels water in to the house. And if the roof vent is closed you have a swimming pool on your roof

Classic method. Plant and water filled courtyard does wonders. Thanks ancient Greece

I like the funnel. Fun to clean out leaves and snow

This has existed in south India for centuries

would be great to put a link of the house -_-

Terrible passive cooling. Hot air can't get out. Cold air and rain can get in. Who designed this mistake?

[gorSouz]

Doesn'tlook very effective... I mean, painting the roof white would help a little more.

yakhchal... I'll just leave it here. thanks...

This guy should visit villages of south india. He will see thousands of these kind of houses which are 100s of years old. This is not something new

I don't know about uniqueness or innovation. The design has heavily borrowed all the mentioned elements from South Indian traditional homes, from red terracotta tiles, sloped roof directing water into the central open courtyard and the central open courtyard.
If you are heavily borrowing from other cultures, the least you can do is mention the origin. Presenting it as your own new 'innovation', is very inappropriate and blatant cultural appropriation
