A grass house is a type of traditional dwelling made primarily from natural materials such as grass, leaves, reeds, or straw. Grass houses are found in many cultures around the world, including indigenous communities in North America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
The construction of grass houses typically involves weaving and tying together bundles of plant materials to form walls and roofs. The resulting structures are often circular or dome-shaped, with a central opening for ventilation and light. Grass houses are typically built for temporary or seasonal use, and they may be used as shelter for people or livestock.
Grass houses have historically played an important role in the cultural traditions and everyday lives of many communities, providing a simple and sustainable form of shelter that is well-suited to the natural environment. However, in modern times, many people have transitioned to more permanent and modern forms of housing, and grass houses are less commonly used.
