The landscape arranged to get a free open space of no walls as the gcc weather urge people to live in closed conditioned spaces most of the year.
The shed is designed to absorb humidity from air by clay plate sheets then condense water to collect it in a pool and distribute water in ground in order to make clay cylinders wet and irrigate green areas.
