The stilt houses of the Nyangatom (Ethiopia and South Sudan) are structures on wooden stilts that rise above the ground to protect their inhabitants from floods, insects, and wild animals. They are built with wood, mud, and interwoven leaves, with thatched or grass roofs. Their interiors are simple, generally divided into spaces for sleeping and food storage, and the design reflects a practical adaptation to the riverine environment and the semi-nomadic lifestyle of the community. #inspirationof
