The houses of the Hakaona, a Herero group in northwestern Namibia, are traditional structures made of mud, wood, and dried dung, maintaining a highly functional and symbolic architecture.Their shape is circular or slightly oval, with walls of mud mixed with plant fiber and a conical roof covered with grass or branches. The most striking feature is their unique and unusual doorway, which doesn't open laterally like a modern door, but rather a piece of wood is pulled back or slid vertically or out
