An essay about how one would design a house for an Apache based on their cultural history.

When trying to design a home, not just a house, for a family from a different culture you must first study their eating habits, life style, traditions, and family ties. Members of the Apache culture have a distinct way of living that has changed over the years, but the values have not. They still like open spaces and keeping their sleeping quarters away from their entertaining. Facts such as these are going to prove useful …

…so they are able to place everything how they wish as far as furnishings go. Windows are important, because they like nature and living where it is comfortable. Everything should have a sense of welcoming when it is first encountered. They have strong family ties and the sleeping quarters should be kept close together, but out of the way of guests. Keep it simple, keep it home feeling, and everything else should fall into place.
