Despite the history of imperial rules and its cultural influences on society high rising buildings [mini skyscrapers] of Sana’a seem to have kept their vernacular style intact.

This room most likely the product of C.20 but it gives us valuable information as such that, we see two levels of windows corresponding to the high level of ceiling [lower level for viewing and upper level for partial light and probably for ventilation purposes].
