Passive Cooling House in India: Brick Roof Residence by Kogis Architecture, No AC Needed #architect

Can a house stay cool in Madurai’s heat without air conditioning? Explore the Brick Roof Residence by Kogis Architecture, a passive cooling house in Tamil Nadu with an experimental sloped roof made from salvaged country bricks, mud, and oxide finishes. In this video, discover how sustainable architecture in India can beat the heat using the stack effect, a tunnel-like high-level air inlet, sun and wind analysis, a linear courtyard, and a reinterpreted Madras terrace roof. Watch to learn: • How to design a naturally cool house without AC • How salvaged bricks and mud improve thermal performance • Why a sloped brick roof works better than a flat terrace • How openings, courtyards, and staircases improve natural ventilation Perfect for architects, students, designers, and homeowners searching for eco-friendly house design ideas, low-energy home design in hot climates, and traditional Indian architecture with a modern twist.
