Climate, sociocultural setting, economy, building materials, and technical availability are all factors that influence human comfort and the long-term viability of building architecture. Because climates vary by region, the most appropriate architectural advances in the built environment are likewise regionally specific. Since ancient times, people have been using solar passive strategies in traditional buildings all across the world. This paper examines the built fabric of Kalabgoor village in Telangana, India. The settlement is located in a composite climatic region with intense sunlight for most of the daytime. A field investigation was conducted to determine the solar passive design features in vernacular houses in the village. These buildings’ photogrammetric documentation of architectural components is also collected. The solar passive features of the building, like natural ventilation, spatial layout, resident activities, shading devices, form and orientation, are explained in this paper. Various physical and metaphysical determinant factors, such as climate and geography, sociocultural values, and technologies, have contributed to the advancement of vernacular architecture, which is the product of centuries of evolution and traditional knowledge systems (TKS). The settlement is a tightly knit web of small clusters of dwellings, each with solid white walls, small windows, heavy roofs, and twisting streets connected by a network of narrow, winding lanes. Building design necessitates a thorough grasp of the interplay between architectural textures, human behaviour, culture, and environmental factors.
