Sul Sul everyone!Could you tell me what these houses are called in English? I would like to share them in the gallery and therefore I need the right name. Or simply: How would you name this lot? In German this type of building is called "Pfahlhäuser" or "Pfahlbauten" (from the stone age).Edit: Somehow I can't post pictures here anymore... anyone know why? :( You are not allowed to post attachments in this category. Please remove any attachments to proceed.So please follow the link:https://imgur.com/a/74mVl4nThanks for your help in advance! :)

Google translate calls them Stilt houses. https://www.google.com/search?q=Pfahlh%C3%A4user+english&source=lmns&bih=625&biw=1366&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj-v_vMy4f3AhWPkKQKHZ5ODesQ_AUoAHoECAEQAA

@Busufu Or stilt "cabins" since they're small and rustic looking. You could say village, too, if they're a cluster of group housing. Or beach cabin resort if they're used for vacationing.

i think not being able to post the picture is because its first comment in thread thats been issue for a bit (if not that you'll need to add the bbcode forums link from the picture share link thing on imgur)I don't really know what the houses are called though I would call them beach house/hut/shack

Where I grew up, we have similar houses that go out over the water on stilts (different style, because different culture, but same concept), and we call them "stilt houses" or "pier houses". That kind of platform extending out over the water is often called a pier. Large piers can definitely have buildings on them.

Stilt tiki hut/house, overwater bungalow… cute build, btw.

What do you call these houses in English?

I've always called them cabins or bungalows. I don't know if that's the name though.

Those are fabulous. They look like they would fit right perfectly in Sulani. They appear to be huts.

I think I would say Beach Huts on the water. They are very cute.

Huts is the only name I've ever heard. Whoever made those did a fantastic job.

Where I'm from, we'd call them Stilt Houses, because they are built up over the water on stilts. I just googled, and it's a real word for them. :lol:
We have a lot of made-up words where I grew up, so I always have to check that.... like, we called drinking fountains "bubblers"...and then when I lived somewhere else people laughed at me for calling them that.
