Best Answer

A grass house is one with its exterior walls and roof made of grass.

Throughout history people have made houses out of whatever is readily available and easily worked. North American aboriginals made teepis out of hide and longhouses and hogans out of bark. Western pioneers constructed log cabins and soddies, Mongols used hair to make felt for their yurts, and the Inuit made igloos out of snow. Primitive societys in Siberia and the arctic used mamoth tusks an whale bones for framing.

In some parts of the world the easiest roofing material to use was bundles of reeds or grass on a wooden frame. This style of dwelling is often associated with natives of Africa, but parallel structures exist with the Yanomamo of Brazil and the thatched roofs of British cottages.
