Casablanca, Morocco
House "O"
The building has a regular, well-compacted shape offering great thermal performance stimulated by the characteristics of the patio house. On the one hand, climate control can correspond to general logics such as horizontal and vertical air circulation, which allows aeration and ventilation, to push hot air upwards. The patio is shaded a large part of the day, but this role is determined in relation to its width and height, it behaves like a thermal regulator; in winter, it lets the sun penetrate the interior of the house, to store its heat there, and to raise the ambient temperature.
