Imagine ‘Desert Gills,’ an innovative house with specially designed clay-based walls that naturally adapt, akin to gills, transforming scorching winds into cool breezes. These walls can be infused with water during hot weather or collect it during the rainy season, incorporating small vertical openings to enhance cooling. When painted in bright white, they become heat-reflective, creating a much more comfortable indoor environment. This wall innovation seamlessly combines old and new, drawing from Dubai’s heritage to conquer its challenging climate.
