Cool Breeze House


The Cool Breeze House is a canine pavilion that incorporates a system to reduce the temperature of a passing breeze to condition the shadded interior space.  Porous vertical tiles are saturated with water from a roof reservoir.  The closely-spaced drenched tiles have a combined large surface area and will cool the passing breeze as the water evaporates.  Access to the roof oasis is provided by a retractable, cantilevered stair.  To protect the interior climate and the evaporation fins from the sun and elements, a swinging gull-wing side panel can provide lots of shade and breeze , or close down to offer enhanced protection.
