Cooling your house with Mashrabiya!

The designers Mey kahn and Boaz Kahn have transported an ancient secret into the now with a fantastically lovely bit of interior design as a conduit.


It's an ECOoler design. It's a tile system that connects via water hose nozzles, creating a grid of essentially natural coolers that work by evaporating water.

What a fantastic Idea !! :D 

"The Mashrabiya, an architectural element that acts as mediator between the inside and the outside. This takes the form of a clay or cement brick that allows air to travel in whilst continuing to keep all manner of uninvited guests out. In the ECOoler, the Mashrabiya is molded and made into a tube system that takes another important cue from a Middle-Eastern tradition: the Jara."


Will leave you with the pix!
