So many homes around the world — types of houses

Every country has some uniqueness in the houses built there. Let’s have a look at different kinds of houses in different countries.

Janet Dawn Baker, that sent me down a rabbit hole, looking at photos of rondavels, they vary from quite primitive to quite elaborate, even two story. Thanks for the comment!

In Sarawak, Borneo, the people live in long houses. Families live in their own adjoining "units" while a communal verandah runs along the front of them all. When a couple marries, a new unit is built onto the end of the longhouse.very simple and effective.

We’ve driven across the Transkei in South Africa where the hillsides are dotted with rondavels, which are smallish dwellings built from straw, mud and manure and (for some unknown reason) painted bright turquoise blue.

In Australia we have a building style called Queenslander. It was invented in the 1900s and involves raising the house off the ground.
