Chapter 12Subha's place is west along the coast, out of the city. The house cascades down the cliffs into the water. Half the structure is submerged in the tide pools and contains several of the pools. Like all Olinda dwellings, it is designed to maximize natural solar heating and cooling. There are integrated wind turbines at the top of the cliff and large solar-power and heating windows facing south. There were also tidal generators.
