Wind Analysis:
The wind pattern of the Gulf
of Mexico causes the wind to
move in the North-Northwest
direction.
The house is oriented to
funnel the wind into the
covered(umbrella) area where
it is cooled by the shade and
water element(pool) before it
flows through the interior
spaces.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSHHHH
Light Analysis:
The house uses panels to
manage the way the light is
received and utilized.
The Umbrella element has slits
that allow light through
providing some light in the
shaded area. It also has an
opening which is aligned with
the pool to keep the area
heated and bright.
