Various forms of Aseeri houses have emerged due to differences in building materials, topography, climate, and social and economic factors. Generally, the Aseeri house is tower-shaped with walls that lean inward due to increased wall thicknesses. These houses serve multiple purposes, including residential use and defensive functions like fortresses. Some are designated for monitoring farms and storing agricultural crops, such as granaries. The owners are keen on making them strong and fortified, as well as decorating their doors and windows with beautiful shapes and colors.
The Aseeri house lacks a central courtyard but includes an adjacent yard for livestock. The ground floor consists of storage rooms, while the upper floors are designated for use by guests and the family.
