Man I really hope the drawing isn't too big for FA to show properly

As most cultures kinda figure out a building and stick with it, such as the Seattlen and Fisherdrake cultures with Longhouses and the Scorchers Ashen drekir with Daub buildings, the Broncens are known to make Pit Houses to live in
Pit houses offer a lot of advantages and have a long history in the Plateau and Owyhee regions of the US and are a tradition that is continuing on with the Drekir of many cultures, Broncens Included. The advantages are that its straightforward to build and maintain, it is very well insulated from heat and cold allowing it to be temperature controlled pretty well in the hot summers and vicious winters of the Treasure Valley, and, while not the most ergonomic for drekir, can be easily locked up from the occasional thief.

A Pit house, or "Ditchome" as the Broncens refer to them, is built simply by digging a ditch, the depth varies a lot though generally Broncens are sure to dig very deep pits that are often 2 meters deep and in sometimes upwards of 10-20 meters in diameter.
This hole is then covered with a roof, this roof is commonly constructed by a frame of logs held up by support beams, with those logs then covered with a heavy helping of soil, dirt, woven mats, and sometimes plastic sheeting. The placement of a door does vary, unlike many human pit houses that have an entrance at the top of the roof, Broncen Ditchomes often have a door on the side. its both familiar to 1st gen drekir culturally and makes for an easy entrance with a latter. A flat laid ladder or a dirt mount are used to get from the higher entrance into the lower home proper. The rest is meant to be a pretty straightforward drek living space. A central hearth keeps the room warm and keeps the food cooking, storage is maintained on the perimeters of the building and the center is fluffed with hay, foam, cattail reeds, and anything else that is cozy to sprawl on.
To help maintain the walls and to make the floor more comfortable, the dirt is often packed and covered with a thick layer of smoothed mud that, when dried, creates a smoothish surface that is resistant to water and can be easily repaired in case of damage
Considering the sheer amount of dirt that is also left over, most of that is either used to make the packed surface or in other projects such as charcoal pits, kilns, simple ovens, or to help fortify the village walls with extra dirt weight or to help elevate the village to protect from wet weather, usually by making a simple water wall
