This is an award-winning design for a house in Haiti that is meant to help control the spread of airborne disease.

It is a good idea, a good design and I salute efforts such as these.

I am puzzled by the format of the rendering. It depicts a lush, rural location. Most notable are the trees in the backgound, which is inconsistent with the geography of the country due to its massive level of deforestation. While artistic liberties are important in architectural drawings, I can't escape the feeling that the overall portrayal is a bit too optimistic.
