In Tibetan-populated areas, the functions of the home are defined in the order of animal, people and deity, from the ground upward. The ground floor is spared for domestic animals.
The second floor is devoted to the kitchen, living room and storerooms. Bedrooms and the family granary are located on the third floor. The upper-most, features a lone sutra hall, where the family's religious rituals take place.

All the people who had been to Tibet, with no exception, would have been impressed deeply by Tibetan’s bold love and preference to colors. From monasteries to residential buildings, from the monk’s overall to the laymen’s garments, even to furniture and knitting, all the colors are rich and vigorous.

Many houses in Tibet are build with mud brick because there are areas where the wood is scarce.

In Australia some people build houses out of mud-brick and bush poles because they are using local building materials whenever posible.

Redcliffe is a residential suburb of the Moreton Bay Regional Council in the north-east of the Redcliffe peninsula, approximately 28 kilometres (17 miles) north-northeast of Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia. Along with the surrounding suburbs, Redcliffe is a popular location for residents of Brisbane seeking a place to relax at its sandy beaches and café strip and hotels on Redcliffe Parade, through its central business district.
