Houses of different countries look different to each other, due to different materials and different styles used. I think the type of architectural style depends on country's culture, weather and also meaning.
In Jamaica most houses are made out wood incorporated within frameworks but other can be built out of the usual materials, brick, steel, etc. They range from lofty to humble. Some houses are brightly colored and have one or two-storey.
The traditional Tibetan houses are unique and full of local characteristic features: in valley area of south Tibet, people live in a castle-like house. In the pastoral area (North Tibet) people live in tents for most of the time while in the forest area people live in wooden buildings. Moreover people in Ali plateau live even in cave dwellings. It was in the course of fighting against the natural calamities that the Tibetans improved the architecture skills and the way of inhabitation.
Castle-like houses are often constructed with earth, stone and/or wood two to three stories. The roofs are flat and covered with "Aga" earth to prevent rain leakage. This kind of house will be warm in winter and cool in summer.
In the rural area (South Tibet) most houses are U-shaped, single-storeyed and covered with flat roofs. The average people live in a simple bungalow with stone bounding wall.
In the pasturing area, people usually house themselves in a yak hair tent which is a special form of architecture, suitable for a nomad life and good for traveling. Common tents are usually small and elegant, being square or rectangle at the base.
In the forest regions of the eastern Tibet, most villages are located up the hillside. People gather the raw materials from the local countryside to build their wooden houses. These are often two-storey, with slope roofs covered with wooden tiles held stable by stones. They are mostly composed of living room (doubling as a kitchen).
Although most people live in houses, there are still some people who live in cave dwellings. Cave dwellings are frequently built by the side of hill or mountain and can take many shapes such as square, round, rectangle. This type of house is a special form of residential building on the Tibetan plateau. Actually life protected from the elements by caves has persisted as a form of human existence and goes on to this day in places such as Turkey, Tunisia, Afghanistan, Morocco, Italy, France and Spain.
In southern Spain, cave homes are man made (e.g. city of Granada). Here cave buildings do not exist inside natural rock formations, instead, they are intentional dwelling spaces carved out of hard clay and earth. In Granada, the ancient cave dwelling area extends far beyond the contemporary city, into the hills and ravines of San Miguel Park- These houses can have all the amenities of a regular house (e.g. electricity, plumbing).
Australian houses are almost made out wood but they also incorporate mud. These mud brick houses are designed to be energy efficient and are mainly found in very dry countries. Houses built in this way give good protection against the very hot sun and hot dry winds of the desert. In the cold nights they stay quite warm. Australian houses may undergo different types of architectural styles such as Colonial, Victorian and Federation styles. In general they are one or two-storey, spacious, with front verandas with timber handrails and tiling on the floor.
