Humanity has always struggled to seek refuge and has been extremely resourceful in providing it. Vernacular architecture is the main result of this most basic human need. Vernacular buildings were designed according to some fundamental principles which included comfort, durability, functionality, aesthetic beauty and convenience. The sustainability of such buildings lies in the fact that they are built to adapt to the inhabitants of the region and their needs, as well as regional conditions, including the availability of local materials and construction techniques, climatic conditions and socio-cultural factors. To ensure the practicality of these structures, builders use knowledge based on experience, tested by trial and error and most of the time passed down from generation to generation. Builders have limited resources and must use indigenous materials that can be obtained from the surrounding environment. The interdependent relationship between the materials and the community has led the craftsman to know what the capabilities and limitations of the materials are. The way these materials are used allows the structure to be ideal for the local climate and the religious and other beliefs of the community. Some architectural structures can pose a challenge for comparative studies because they are practical in different environments. Activities within the domestic space, such as cooking and heating, are also essential for good energy performance. Local resources, in addition to having a practical purpose in defining space and providing comfort, are also used for vernacular characteristics, which attribute community to the given environment and thus satisfying a great humanistic need.

The large roof of the main part, covered with palm leaf thatch or clay tiles to provide good insulation from solar radiation due to their low thermal capacity, it is relatively steep to eliminate rainwater and, above all, to increase the ventilation of the chimney. As the air warms, it expands and rises within the high ceiling. There it flows out of the house through roof ventilation joints or hooded rising gable vents. On the other hand, attached roofs covering secondary spaces are low and less suited to rainfall. But they are intended to move water away from the walls so that windows remain open and allow air to circulate through the building without water infiltrating. These roofs also contribute to natural convection via the stack effect, as the steep roof space draws air from the space below.
