The structure resembles the shape of a matchbox with walls of sliding nature to adjust the needs of solar rays and shade in the home. This home is an ideal combination of modern technology and the beauty of traditional architecture.

In summers, the shed is closed to maintain a cool temperature inside, and the ceiling vent makes the air escape from home.
