In the design of this house in the dry and desert climate in the center of Saudi Arabia, we designed a central courtyard with high walls. High walls have many advantages in hot and dry climates. Due to the high height, it causes humidity to remain in the space between them and protects the trees and plants from cold and heat. This wall is also a very good and effective barrier in preventing the entry of sand and dust storms. This existing design softens the air and space inside this yard and creates a microclimate.
The designed windcatcher is house element and also can cool the air inside the house. The air is taken from the opposite direction of the dust or the cleaner wind flows, and it is taken underground by means of channels down to a depth of about 6 meters depending on the climate and soil of the region. The humidity in the soil cools the passing air and the cooled air is blown in again from the floor of the house. The modern wind catcher experiment has also been implemented in Masdar city.
The sitting space can be flat or sunk into the ground, which is a modern take on traditional sitting in Saudi Arabia.
