Design principles that apply to this house can create a system of natural ideal air conditioning. There are 3 design principles of mutual support in creating natural air conditioning system in this house. These three models is the application of multilevel roofs, appropriate openings (such as location of windows, vents, and windows near the roof), and the spaces were void. Consider how the three could be together “work together”.

Use Gin-Gin
This house consists of 3 floors; 2nd and 3rd floors of mezanin (some floors at the front omitted). Each floor was given shelter mezanin roof, so that form-storey roof. This model aims to facilitate the opening made to flow the air. Each roof length plus to avoid due hit the water splashes openings.

The main structure of this story roof using gin-gin wall of concrete. Actually, the horses of wood or steel roof can also be used, but the gin-gin chosen for the interior ceiling is designed to follow the slope of the roof. The use of gin-gin is expected to give the impression of clean and spacious.

Because there windows near the roof, it is necessary to have an additional beam to sustain it. Other roof is an additional roof or eaves of the block structure consoles, such as on balconies or windows in the basement.

Placed Vents
The principle of air flow in the house is a cross ventilation. Cross ventilation can be achieved by placing openings opposite each other and different sizes. The way it can make a difference so that the air pressure can flow (the principle of the wind).

The movement of air in the house can be designed to flow horizontally and vertically. Horizontal flow occurs because of the windows and ventilation holes are located opposite each other on the two sides of the wall. In addition, there is also a window located at the top of the wall attached just below the roof. Each floor has openings, all shaded by the eaves roof so as not to hit the water splashes.

Open Part of the Flooring
Architect of this house, stated that there needs to be void for air flow vertically. Voids can be formed as part of the floor on the floor 2 and 3 left open (mezanin floor). The combination windows near the roof void and can make the hot air into the space can be lifted up (by void) and exit through windows near the roof (such as the air flow in the chimney) so the air inside a cooler.

In addition to air conditioning, voids useful to incorporate natural light transmitted to the floor below. The effect of the loss of part of this floor also creates an atmosphere of spacious and open.
