6. Wind Analysis: The wind pattern of the Gulf of Mexico causes the wind to move in the North-Northwest direction. The house is oriented to funnel the wind into the covered(umbrella) area where it is cooled by the shade and water element(pool) before it flows through the interior spaces.

8. Light Analysis: The house uses panels to manage the way the light is received and utilized. The Umbrella element has slits that allow light through providing some light in the shaded area. It also has an opening which is aligned with the pool to keep the area heated and bright.
