Tequesta houses were primarily constructed using natural materials found in their coastal environment. They typically used wood from local trees, such as palm and cypress, along with palmetto thatch for roofing. Additionally, they sometimes incorporated shells and mud for insulation and structural support. These materials allowed for the creation of sturdy yet adaptable homes suited to the subtropical climate of southeastern Florida.

The Tequesta hut, used by the Tequesta people of South Florida, was typically constructed from natural materials readily available in their environment. These huts were primarily made of palm fronds, which provided insulation and protection from the elements, along with wooden poles or branches for structural support. The use of thatch roofs made from palm leaves helped keep the interiors dry and cool. Overall, the construction reflected the Tequesta’s adaptation to their coastal surroundings.
Briton Hammon reported that the Tequesta lived in "hutts". Other tribes in southern Florida lived in houses with wooden posts, raised floors, and roofs thatched with palmetto leaves, something like the chickees of the Seminoles.
Tequesta Point was created in 1995.
