The $2,500 Vernacular Home is a sustainable house designed for Para Dash, the bamboo village of Modonpur, Bangladesh. Built with a budget under $2,500, including labor and materials, it uses only local resources: mud, straw, bamboo, bricks, and tin sheets. The home serves a family of four, parents and their son with his wife. To address Bangladesh鈥檚 hot climate and long monsoon season, the design uses a raised veranda, steeply pitched roofs for rain runoff, and a layout that ensures every room catches the breeze. Varying window heights on windward and leeward sides enhance ventilation. Clay pots from a nearby village are embedded in the tea house fa莽ade to cool the air through airflow compression. The house includes two bedrooms, a kitchen, a toilet, two cow sheds, and space for a future children鈥檚 room. A weaving area for the daughter-in-law sits on the upper-level balcony, allowing her to stay connected to the family while working. The parents' tea house and shop are placed along the village road for accessibility and courtyard privacy. Due to limited electricity, 'liter bottles of light' are used on the roof to brighten interiors. Rooted in local knowledge, the design reflects true vernacular sustainability.
