This is absolutely genius! With heatwaves getting worse and electricity bills through the roof (pun intended!), an architect in Haryana came up with an incredible, eco-friendly solution to keep his home cool. He covered his terrace with nearly 7,000 traditional earthen kulhads, then topped them with cement and mosaic tiles. The glossy tiles reflect sunlight, and the hollow kulhads trap air, creating a natural insulating layer. It's drastically reduced his indoor temperatures, proving you don't always need power-hungry ACs. Seriously rethinking my roof now! #architecture #environment #innovation https://thoxt.com/l/i3UGCX 🔗

But imagine the weight of 7,000 kulhads plus cement and tiles! Is the building structure strong enough? Also, what about maintenance, especially with heavy rains? Seems like a lot of work and potential issues. #architecture

This is fantastic! Reducing reliance on ACs is a huge step for the environment. Less energy consumption, lower carbon footprint. Every home should consider traditional wisdom for modern problems. 🌎🌿

yeah no, Sounds cool, literally! But how much would something like this cost to install? And finding 7,000 kulhads sounds like a project in itself. 🤔💸

My AC bill this month made me want to live in a cave. This guy is living in the future! Guess I'll start collecting tea cups now. 😂☕ #architecture
