Traditional house of Negeri Sembilan

📍Kota, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia #mycountry The house in the picture is a traditional house of Negeri Sembilan belongs to my colleague’s family. Malay houses or ‘rumah kampung’ represent the beauty and wisdom of traditional architecture, of sharing a home with others and of living in harmony with nature. In its simplest form, the traditional Malay house is a structure raised on stilts high above the ground, covered with thatched roofs, enclosed with wooden walls and perforated with windows and lattices. The size, form and ornamentation of the houses depend on the size, wealth and status of the family in the community.
