  • Hydro House
    In hot and dry climates, evaporative cooling is an effective and energy-efficient way to keep things from getting too hot. The Hydro House is a concept home by Rael San Fratello Architects that relies on the cooling effects of evapotranspiration by using ponds, both in and on the home, and through fins that adorn the house. Skylights, portholes and operable windows also provide ample natural daylight and aid in the cooling of the desert home.
