Housing styles in Tibet vary according to regional conditions. The most common style is the white Stone Tower. 
 
Stone Towers are built like military fortifications. The perimeters of these buildings are usually built in the shape of a trapezoid for increased strength. They are usually two-story buildings made of stone and wood. The lower floor is where livestock is stabled..The upper floor is comprised of living rooms for the family, storerooms and a shrine room. If there is a third floor, it will be divided into two parts: the rear section will be used as a shrine while the open front space is used as a balcony. Usually in every corner of the top floor there is space to insert auspicious <a href="/features/religion/prayer_flag.htm">prayer flags</a>. Unlike the ancient eave-styled houses typical in inland China which are designed for areas of higher rainfall, the Tibetan Stone Towers have flat roofs which make removing the frequent snows easy.
