Balinese traditional house
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Balinese traditional house refers to the traditional house of Balinese people in Bali, Indonesia. The Balinese traditional house is the product of a blend of Hindu and Buddhist beliefs fused with Austronesian animism, resulting in a house that is "in harmony" with the law of the cosmos of Balinese Hinduism.[1]
House compound
The Balinese traditional house is built as a house compound, where daily functions are separated not by rooms but by individual structures within an enclosing wall.
