Although they differ from country to country, the traditional African village huts have thatched roofs supported by a wooden or an earth base. Some huts also have entirely thatched exterior and an interior made of mud. Due to the use of readily available local materials, this type of houses are classfied as vernacular architecture. Although the choice of local materials are generally associated with poverty, it also have climatic advantages as it enables vantilation.

Here are some examples of traditional African village huts.
