The primary building material is coral stone, which is a readily available resource on the island. The stone is cut into blocks and used for the walls, while the roofs are traditionally thatched with coconut palm fronds. The houses are typically single-storied, with an area of around 500-800 square feet, and they have high ceilings to allow for air circulation. The carvings on the doorframes and window sills are made from locally available wood. The architecture reflects the local culture and the religious beliefs of the local community. -
