Southern veranda. In winter this is one of the coziest places in the whole house. Even on a very cold night, an adobe wall does not “take” the heat out of you, unlike stone walls. On the left, near the adobe wall, are Symbiose i microclimate sensors

The first prototype was built as part of the “Ecovillage for the Desert Climate” project. For now it is a tiny hut with a veranda on the rooftop of our Middle East office.

The temperature inside the house not differs a lot from what we have in a regular apartment on the floor below, but this is not surprising. The main advantage of adobe architecture is that there is no direct contact with the ground.

Now we can test the material under real operating conditions. So far, the impression from the natural material of the walls and natural textures is the most positive.

Bedroom. The roof slope faces exactly north. In summer it feels cooler in such a house

The project turned out to be successful. Despite its experimental status, guests live in the house all the time

Small bedroom plus spacious veranda and open kitchen. Quite enough for a comfortable life in the conditions of South Sinai
