Typical mexican house feature?

Question

What is the name of a typical mexican style feature, usually located in the kitchen, it is a narrow wall that goes to the roof to allow the hot air to rise out of the kitchen and provide airflow?

Answer 1

Interesting concept. If you're a fireman, however, I think that you would rather find a firewall separating the kitchen from the rest of the home. And airflow is the last thing you want. A lot of home fires start in the kitchen.

This isn't what you are talking about, but I wanted to show you the term chimney wall in case it's somewhat related.

Answer 2

Hmmm, not used in Spain, or is this a campana (extractora)?
