Abstract:  
This study explored one of the unique solutions to create climatic comfort in high-temperature and semi-humid dwellings. It also aimed to explain the role of different altitude layers of dwellings in Dezful throughout the year. It is an applied study with a descriptive-analytical method. This study was carried out on 23 local houses in Dezful, and revealed six altitude layers, including the first layer (Shavadoon), second layer (Shabistan), third layer (courtyard), fourth layer (the platform, first-floor room, and veranda), fifth layer (the yard on the second-floor, second-floor room, and veranda), and sixth layer (the roof). The data were collected through interviews, available documents, and field observations. The results revealed that moving vertically through layers can yield thermal comfort. The fourth layer has the most use of space, and the second layer has the most minor use of space during the year
