Our primary interest is to blend our building with its surrounding in terms of atmospheres and climates. The aim is to create a transition between different climatic conditions, in which the villa's inhabitants would choose their zones of comfort for their daily activities. To achieve this we analysed tropical vernacular architecture and their “architects” strategies to deal with their habitats extreme climate, such as decreasing humidity, shading, increasing ventilation, etc.. Their two main ways to regulate comfort is blocking, the sun, by constructing extended roofs, and increase ventilation by raising the floor above ground, walls are only necessary for privacy. So our desired differentiation of climatic conditions can be achieved by modulating roofscape and landscape.
