5. COURTYARD TYPE BUILDINGS ARE VERY SUITABLE
LARGE PROJECTING EAVES AND VERANDAHS
ROOF INSULATION AND WALL INSULATION
THICKER WALLS
AIR LOCKS AND BALCONIES
WEATHERSTRIPPING
PALE COLOURS AND GLAZED CHINA MOSAIC TILES
EXHAUSTS
TREES AND WATER BODIES FOR EVAPORATIVE COOLING
DEHUMIDIFIERS AND DESICCANT COOLING
LARGE OPENINGS IN OPPOSITE WALLS
APPROPRIATE OREINTATION AND SHAPE OF BUILDING
CAVITY WALLS, TERRACE GARDENS

6. The only opening in the external walls
was the main door
Some houses had windows , but they were
small and placing high to ventilate the
indoors
The small windows also served to keep the
hot summer sun and cold winds out.
The house sat on a raised platform made of
compacted earth. The high thermal mass
helped keep the house cool in the evenings
in summer which made it pleasant for
people to rest in the evenings

7. COURTYARD - a semi
public
courtyard
is provided in front and at
the rear end of the hut
This open-to-sky
courtyard acted a prime
space for the
house.
In winter the courtyard
provided sunlight at the
centre of the house
enabling heat to be
available to most of the
house
During night , the space radiated
heat to the adjoining rooms
mitigating the cold
During summers, courtyard acted as a
thermal chimney to let the warm air
escape the house and draw the cooler
winds into the house

9. Material- timber bamboo straw clay cow
dung
Special mud making process - walls
made of mud obtained by souring the
earth by adding vegetable waste and
leaving it to mature . The decaying waste
produces tannic acid and other organic
colloids, greatly improving the mud’s
plasticity
This mud was then mixed with cow dung
chopped straw and gravel to make the raw
material for the walls

10. Wall thickness – 450mm
The walls were formed by applying thick coat of
mixture on both the sides of bamboo mesh that
wrapped around the posts
The roof rested on nine wooden posts erected in
3 rows
These posts were sunk into raised platform and
tied with wooden beams that supported the roof
structure
Usually gabled thatch roof, bamboo sticks
formed the mullions to support the thatch
The thick thatch used as roofing material
prevented rain from entering and provided
insulation to the building

11. The houses were built of local materials
such as mud sticks grass and pebbles by
local crafts men
A hut measured appx. 5 to 6 m long and 3-4
m wide
Surrounded by fence made of bamboo
shrubs that defined boundary
