Chennai's climate is characterized by high humidity, scorching summers, and heavy monsoon rains. These factors significantly impact construction materials and techniques.

To combat this, Verdant Space Studio emphasizes using weather-resistant materials. For instance, treated wood, weatherproof paint, and high-quality concrete are preferred to ensure longevity and durability. Additionally, incorporating proper drainage systems is crucial to prevent waterlogging during the monsoon season.
