wooden houses

Log cabin structures

Houses built from timber or lumber rather than brick, stone, or concrete.

Wooden houses dominate residential construction in North America, Scandinavia, and other forested regions where wood is abundant and affordable.

The term often implies traditional or rustic construction: The neighborhood's wooden houses dated from the 1920s.
