Traditional Architecture of Javanese Traditional House

 Traditional Javanese houses, or commonly referred to as omah adat Jawa, refer to traditional houses on the island of Java, Indonesia. Javanese house architecture is characterized by the presence of dominant hierarchical rules as reflected in the shape of the roof of the house. Traditional Javanese houses have very similar layouts to each other, but the shape of the roof is determined by the social and economic status of the homeowner. 

Traditional Javanese house architecture is heavily influenced by Dutch colonial architecture in Indonesia and also greatly contributed to the development of modern architecture in Indonesia in the 20th century.
