Ventilation = Comfort
In Mérida, a well-ventilated house is key. Bringing a steady flow of fresh air helps flush the humidity, keeps people cool(er) and is the best cooling strategy for the climate.
Upon revisiting our design today, we realize our plan is not very ventilation friendly. The central courtyard, for instance, is sheltered from wind on all sides with little or no airflow across the space (bad thing).
We need to do a better job as this is where we are trying to push most of our outdoor living. As such, we’re backtracking our design with an eye to maximizing ventilation strategies.
