Humanity has always struggled to find shelter and has been extremely resourceful in providing it. Vernacular architecture is the main result of this most basic human necessity. Vernacular buildings have been designed in accordance with certain fundamental principles, including comfort, durability, functionality, aesthetic beauty and affordability. The sustainability of these buildings lies in the fact that they are built to adapt to the people of the region and their needs, as well as regional conditions, including the availability of local construction materials and techniques, climatic conditions and sociocultural factors. To ensure the practicality of these structures, builders use knowledge based on experience, tested by trial and error and mostly passed down from generation to generation. Builders are resource limited and must use indigenous materials that can be obtained from the surrounding environment. The interdependent relationship between materials and community led the artisan to know the capabilities and limitations of materials. The way these materials are used allows the structure to be perfectly suited to the local climate as well as the religious views and other beliefs of the community. Some architectural structures can pose a challenge for comparative studies because they are practical in several different environments. Activities within the home space, such as cooking and heating, are also essential to good energy performance. Local resources, in addition to having a practical purpose of defining space and ensuring comfort, are also used for vernacular characteristics, which attribute community to the given environment and thus respond to a great humanist need .

The extended roof of the main part, covered with thatch made of palm leaves or clay tiles to ensure good insulation against solar radiation in due to their low thermal capacity, is relatively stiff to evacuate rainwater and especially to increase the ventilation of chimneys. As the air warms, it expands and rises inside the high ceiling. There it flows out of the house through roof ventilation joints or through raised gable vents. On the other hand, the adjoining roofs covering the secondary spaces have a low slope and are less suited to precipitation. But their purpose is to channel water away from the walls so that windows remain open and allow air to circulate through the building without water seeping in. These roofs also contribute to natural convection by chimney effect, since steeply sloped attics draw air from their lower space..
