Housing in Kolasib represents a transition from traditional to modern. Older homes feature the classic "Assam-type" architecture—built on stilts with timber frames, bamboo or plaster walls, and corrugated tin roofs to withstand heavy monsoon rains. In recent years, these are rapidly being replaced by multi-story reinforced concrete buildings built into the hillsides.
