In Hawaii, the materials used for building homes were very basic and all-natural. We call the houses “grass huts” because the roof was thatched with clumps of grass, held in place with a large fish net to protect it from winds. The inside walls were thatched with leaves and the floor was covered with woven mats. The only decorations on the huts were feathers.

The village or settlement consisted of various houses, each built with a very specific purpose. The chief’s house was located on a prominent rise to reflect his position, and women and children were not allowed in. The living house was used by the extended families, who all slept under one roof.
And so it was then! Such homes still do exist, but only in the Polynesian cultural centers. Compare those to the homes we now have in Hawaii! At Luxury Big Island’s website, you can take a tour of all the wonderful homes that are available for you to call your own, like this one in North Kohala:
