I need an environmentally designed house. can somebody share japanese house designs?

in manila the weather is so hot during summer. is there any design to solve the heat ?I need an environmentally designed house. can somebody share japanese house designs?
The ideal house design in the phils should be something that maximizes the air flow within the interior of the room and minimizes the sun exposures. This means that there should be less partitions within the room and a lot of shading devices to eliminate exposures of the interior from the sun. However, in Manila, you cannot avoid the use of air-conditioning system due to island-heat reaction and less vegetation that really compliments to the heat of the day. Air is also nowadays polluted. But if the site of your proposed house is in a subdivision, air-conditioning system can be eliminated. Just have a high-ceiling interior and introduce indoor and outdoor garden in the plan. Your preference of having a japanese-inspired house is a very good decision. A japanese house concept is ideal in our climate. It has an open plan with partitions that can either be removed/folded. It has a wide eaves and high pitch roofing. The materials that are used in a japanese house is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functionally adaptable for a tropical climate.
