maori lived and still refer to there homes as whare - this was the term for house, the "wh" is pronounced "f" these were traditionally built in villages with a vantage point in a barricade so on a hill for greater advantage in battle is an example. they were made out of strung together wood with a rope made from plants. (pre European settlement) so in a way they were huts.
there are also whare Kai (eating house) wharenui (meeting house) you might like to check out the Auckland museum for more information or at Te papa museum in wellington (website if you cant get there personally).
what is beautiful and purposeful about maori carved buildings is the links made back to the carvers whakapapa (family (includes those that are so close to be thought of as family) and ansesters) the kowhaiwhai (patterns) reflect this.
