adobe hut

Clay brick shelter

An adobe hut is a simple dwelling made from sun-dried mud bricks, typically found in arid regions of the American Southwest, Mexico, and other dry climates.

Adobe construction uses a mixture of clay, water, and straw that hardens in the sun, creating walls that stay cool in summer heat: The village consisted of a few adobe huts clustered around a well.
