What is a tropical house design? It means the strategic arrangement of elements in buildings so they can provide defense against the specific conditions of weather in the tropics.

Keep in mind that tropical house design style emphasizes having an airy, bright, and open living space. It would be best to pick a neutral color scheme for a soft and balanced feel inside the home.

Tropical homes are characterized by open-plan layouts, though the savvy homeowner would not necessarily want to leave everything ajar.

Aside from security concerns, having too many open windows would invite excess heat into a house. Instead, the openings should be positioned in a way that optimal airflow is achieved.

A well-designed tropical home lets airflow in such a way that, rain or shine, its interior would remain comfortable.

This is achieved through strategically placed openings and partitions that allow air to move throughout the house at just the right velocity and temperature.

The beauty of houses with a tropical architectural design is that the ventilation can be adjusted depending on the time of the year and what direction the wind is blowing from.

For example, if the wind is coming in from the north, its velocity can be increased by simply opening the window on the opposite side.

Last, but certainly not the least, is the feature that is most closely associated with tropical architectural designs: Greenery.

If the house isn’t already in an area filled with lush, native vegetation, it should at least have trees and plants within its radius that facilitate the exceptional cooling properties of a tropical home.
