adobe house
Earthen desert home
A house built from adobe—sun-dried bricks made of clay, water, and straw.
Adobe houses have thick walls that stay cool in summer and retain heat in winter, making them traditional in hot, arid climates like the American Southwest and Mexico.
The old adobe house had walls two feet thick.
