The houses have a simple wooden frame which is covered with sheets of reeds that are tied together. You could say the panels look like big placemats. It's very simple but seems to work well. During the rainy season they add another layer to the roof and that keeps them quite dry. And before placing the houses they add an extra layer of reeds. Eventually the island wears down so they add another layer of reeds all over the top. It doesn't get any simpler than this - unless you live in a cave.
