Similar Climates And Their Housing

[HelloHound]

To be upfront this is an american centric post but I'm interested in all available & relevant thoughts.

So North Carolina has a very similar climate to Japan according to the handy dandy google search, would it be a good idea to try and build traditional Japanese houses in that state? Why or why not?

Climate isn't the only thing you should take into consideration. Example, Japan has a ton of earthquakes, so naturally their way of building was developed to counter this. Honestly, I don't know whether it's a bad thing to replicate this in a place that doesn't experience earthquakes or not.

Tornadoes.

Many factors go into it, but yes, to a degree it would be better than picking a building style at random.

Japan ... It is not necessarily an apt comparison. Japan extends far. In the north, there is freezing cold. In the south, there is scorching heat.

Considering there is likely a lack of Japanese building construction companies in America, it may not work out as well.

As for the question, no it wouldn't fit in as there would be a culture mismatch.

If its just interior and aesthetic that's should be fine. I imagine you can make it look like a traditional house no problem.

You might need a very strong outter gate and wall, coz dont traditional jap hose use a lot of wooden screens and frames? From what i hear America ain't the safest place in terms of breaking and entering.

They would only be the same if it was the same regime.

Do they build the same in Vietnam and burna and India? Bangladesh?

Philippines and Solomon Islands?

Maritime SEA and southern Pacific island nations have a preference for houses made of light materials, mainly because it is widely-available, easy to construct, and can be quickly repaired after devastating typhoons.

Aye. Venus' morning is in the West, and sets on the East, which is kinda interesting story idea.
