The walls were made of wood, in areas where it was plentiful, and the roof was covered with turf. Place vertical poles in the ground along the lines that are to be the walls. These poles should have vertical grooves for boards that make up the walls. The roof could be similar, covered with birch bark and then turf.

A longhouse is called so because of its elongated, rectangular shape, which is typically designed to accommodate multiple families or community members under one roof. These structures are traditionally made from wood and can vary in size, often featuring a central living area with individual spaces for families along the sides. The design reflects the communal lifestyle of the cultures that built them, such as Native American tribes and some Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest. The term "longhouse" effectively captures both the architectural form and its social function.
