Adobe roofs are a distinctive form of flat mud roofing that utilizes sun-dried adobe bricks. The adobe bricks, made from mud, are dried in the sun before being employed for construction, resulting in a building material that is both sturdy and free from cracks. Adobe roofing can be observed in historic homes in Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu, where this roofing style is a distinctive feature of the region's architectural heritage. It is typical for these homes to feature a first-floor or attic space, and this roofing style was designed to accommodate this extra floor space.
