It features a pool which helps cool down the space, bambooscreens that provide protection from heavy rainfall typical of the region, thick walls and a roof made from palm leaves that keep the interior spaces cool.

The architects optimized vernacular architecture that responds to tropical weather conditions and expanded upon the existing passivhaus principles. While floor-to-ceiling windows bring in natural light and provide a connection to the outside, the position of the staircase between the living room and the bedrooms upstairs create permanent cross ventilation through the recycled brick walls.
