Sundanese traditional house

A traditional Sundanese house with Julang Ngapak roof and Capit Gunting ornament in Papandak, Garut circa 1920s.

Sundanese traditional house refers to the traditional vernacular houses of the Sundanese people, who predominantly inhabited the western parts of Java island (West Java and Banten provinces, and the western part of Central Java, including Brebes and Cilacap), Indonesia. The architecture of a Sundanese house is characterized by its functionality, simplicity, modesty, uniformity with a little detail, its use of natural thatched materials, and the quite faithful adherence to harmony with nature and the environment.[1]
