Common Aztec homes were made of adobe, which is a sun dried brick made from adobe clay. The main area of the Aztec shelter was one room which was split equally into four areas. There was a room for the whole family to sleep in, a family shrine where gods would be kept and where people worshiped gods, a place where meals would be prepared, and then the eating area. There would be thatched roofs, and sometimes terraced roofs.
