Beehive house near Aleppo.

A Beehive house[1] (in arabic خلية النحل, khaliat al-nahl «beehive» /[./https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPA xa:'laja anˌnaħl]/), also known as mud house o dome house[2] are traditional Arab constructions, typical of the rural surroundings of the Bilad al-Sham (northern Syria). Its conical-shaped cupola helps keeping the temperature cool in the interior, which ranges between 20 ° and 30 ° C while outside can reach 60 ° C. They are also a millennial example of sustainable construction[3].

They are made of mud bricks (to prevent the entry of heat)[4] and walls covered with straw and mud, with a single compartment per dome. In the rainy season the conical shape helps to quickly drain the facades, which means a minimum erosion of the mud. Inside they are very dark; They do not usually have windows, and if they do, they tend to be small.[5] They can be isolated or connected with the neighboring houses, being able to generate a network of compartments united like a true hive[6].

Its use is for storage or residential[7].

Terminology

edit

There is no specific way to refer to them, since it is a rural construction. Locally they are simply known as mud houses (منزل الطين, manzil altˤayn) or dome houses, with the same meaning. They are also called Khaliat An-Nahl, which means beehive (خلية النحل, that can be transcribed like khaliat (or khlaiah) al-nahl (or an-nhl), because several houses together resemble a beehive[8].
