Guangzhou Climate and xiguan big house

Guangzhou has a hot and humid climate and often encounters rainy weather. Therefore, the previous design of xiguan big house was the indoor storey height, usually 4-5 meters or even higher, which was suitable for ventilation. Brick roofs also have a strong function of dispersing wind and cooling down, making the house warm in winter and cool in summer. Moreover, the doorway is a wooden raft with a threshold, which can prevent rainwater from pouring into the street during the rainy season. The wooden raft can not only play a role.
