The houses on Uros Islands are build from the same material as the island itself. Reeds are cut and dried and then tied together in big mats which are attached to a simple wooden frame. Before building the house they add an extra layer of reeds where the house will be placed. And during the rainy season they add another layer of mats to the roof which works well to keep the rain out. It doesn't get any simpler - unless you live in a cave.
