traditional "Gara oy",
The traditional structure is a felt tent called a "black house" ( gara oÿ ). A thick felt covering is draped over a wooden frame, leaving an entrance and a round opening at the top to allow smoke to escape. The frame is collapsible so that the tent can be dismantled quickly for travel. Today most Türkmen live in modern housing, and gara oÿs are used only for summer recreation and holidays.
nowadays Turkmens live in modern apartments
In Turkmen the term is both ak öý and gara öý , literally "white house" and "black house", depending on its luxury and elegance. Almost every available space in a home is covered with carpets. Floors are covered with multiple carpets, chairs are draped with a medium-sized rug or a square seat covering, and the walls display large and often valuable carpets.
