Designing for Rajshahi's heat and dry season

Rajshahi has some of the hottest summers in Bangladesh and a long dry season. Good design keeps rooms cool without running the AC all day.

Two Storey House White
Shade the west and south
Deep chajjas, verandas and jali screens cut the afternoon sun on the hottest walls.
Cross ventilation
Windows on opposite walls and a stair void pull cool air through the house at night.
Roof insulation
A roof garden, reflective paint or a second light roof keeps the top floor from overheating.
Soil test first
Riverside and filled plots near the Padma need a soil test before the foundation is chosen.

Architect in Rajshahi: common questions

Who approves building plans in Rajshahi?

Inside the Rajshahi metro area, the Rajshahi Development Authority (RDA) approves building plans. Outside it, the pourashava or union parishad gives permission.

Shade the west and south walls, use deep verandas and chajjas, plan cross ventilation and insulate or shade the roof. These cost little at the design stage and cut AC bills every year.

Residential construction costs about ৳1,800 to ৳2,500 per sq ft in 2026 for the structure and standard finishing. Soft soil, a raised plinth or pile foundations can add to this.

About ৳900 to ৳1,500 per sq ft for a budget finish, ৳1,500 to ৳2,500 for mid range and ৳2,500 to ৳4,000 or more for premium work in 2026, including design, materials and labour.
