thatch roof
Dried grass shelter
A thatch roof is a roof covering made from dried plant material—typically straw, reeds, or palm leaves—layered to shed water.
Common in traditional architecture across many cultures, thatch roofs provide good insulation but require maintenance and pose fire risks.
The style evokes rustic cottages and tropical resorts: a quaint pub with a thatch roof.
