Two Unique Structures in Tropical Monsoon Asia: Stilt Houses & Thatched Roofs

  1. Stilt houses: Raised on platforms above ground to avoid flooding; allow air circulation for cooling.
  2. Thatched roofs: Made from grass, palm leaves, or bamboo—lightweight, insulating, cool, and easily repaired after storms.
