Cool Habitats: How does this minimalistic home adapt to the hot & dry summer of Gujarat?

Deesa, a town along the Banas river known for its quality potatoes, often experiences very hot and dry weather, especially during summer. In this episode of Cool Habitats, we're featuring "Shoonya House", a simple, minimal home designed for a humble family.

Watch how architects Melissa Smith and Sachin Bandukwala conceptualized this house by creating void or hollow spaces for the family to live.

This clever design allows them to sustain the harsh temperatures outside, as the house is smartly covered on all four sides, leaving a series of voids or hollow spaces for the family to live freely, without experiencing the hot and dry heat of Gujarat.
