thatched hut
Grass-roofed shelter
A thatched hut is a small, simple dwelling with a roof made of dried plant material—typically straw, reeds, or palm leaves.
The term evokes rural or tropical settings and traditional construction methods: The village consisted of a dozen thatched huts along the riverbank.
In Western contexts, it often carries connotations of poverty or primitive living conditions.
