The prototype of truly tropical house.
At the time when we did not rely on electricity or piped water.
When the natural breeze from the surrounding lush greeneries gave us cool fresh air that no air conditioner, purifier of ionizer can beat.
Thatched roof: Renewable, readily available and effective heat shield.
Large windows: Fantastic ventilation. No stagnant corners for mosquitoes to linger.
(Check this out: Modern houses have large glass windows to keep air conditioner working hard to fight the blazing tropical suns fronm the large openings.)
Elevated wooden floor: Extra ventilation for cool air. No worries for flash floods too.
Large shared spaces: best for ventilation of air and emotions.
Bathrooms: Open air and cool well water. No solar panel or special piping required. More fun, more healthy.
Kitchen: Far away from the WC to avoid possibility of contamination.
It is a fantasy to have both convenience and ample natural at a affordable price.
Who knows one day the dream will come true when we try hard enough!
