New Stone Age.
By the New Stone Age, some people had started building houses for themselves. People began the Neolithic at different times in different places, so that people began to build houses in Sudan and Egypt probably about 10,000 BC, and in Greece about 6000 BC, while they didn't start to build houses in England until about 3000 BC.
By around 6000 BC, with the invention of spinning and weaving, some people also started to live in tents.

Iron age
The British Celts lived in roundhouses. We know this from the archaeological remains that have been excavated and dated to the Iron Age. The size of the roundhouses can be seen from the rain ditches which surround the houses. From those ditches we know that some of the roundhouses in the hill fort were quite big and that there was room for a lot of people inside.

The house of our ancestor depended on where they lived and the tribe they belonged. Indeed, even today, after visiting the villages in the north and the south of European Russia, it is impossible not to notice the difference in the type of housing: in the north it is – a wooden izba, in the south – hata-daub. In the north, with its wet climate and an abundance of first class wood, semi-underground house turned into a house much faster than buildings in south.

The earliest houses in Plymouth had thatched roofs, but because they were more likely to catch on fire, the colony eventually passed a law that required new homes be built with plank instead. Most houses had dirt floors, not wooden floors, and each had a prominent fire and chimney area, since this was the only source of heat as well as the only way to cook. Each house would have had its own garden, where vegetables and herbs could be grown.

Modern homes reference a style popular in the 1950s and ‘60s. Modern houses use flat or lower slope roofs, horizontal windows and large, undecorated fireplaces. They embrace the horizontality of the landscape and automobile culture. Modern houses eschew fussy details and often employ high-quality materials such as marble, wood floors/paneling, and stone, Snider said. The overall effect creates clean lines.
