What is an "adobe house"?
An adobe house is a building made from adobe, a natural building material that is made from a mixture of clay, sand, straw, and water, which is then dried in the sun. Adobe houses are typically one or two stories and are often found in areas with hot, dry climates, such as the southwestern United States, parts of Mexico, and the Middle East. These houses are known for their thick walls, which provide excellent insulation, keeping the interior cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Adobe houses are eco-friendly and sustainable due to the natural materials used in their construction.
