desert dwelling
Sandy region residence
A desert dwelling is a home or shelter built in arid regions, designed to withstand extreme heat, temperature swings, and scarce water.
Adobe houses, mud-brick structures, and Bedouin tents are traditional examples.
Modern desert dwellings often feature thick walls, small windows, and passive cooling: Their desert dwelling stayed surprisingly cool without air conditioning.
