Joglo's House from Java

The word "Joglo" is taken from the words "tajug" and "loro". The meaning of the word is the merging of two tajug. The roof of the Joglo house is in the form of a tajug that resembles a mountain.

Initially the Joglo house was in the shape of a square with four pillars in the middle. The pole is called "Saka Guru". Then to support the pole, a tiered "blandar" called "Tumpang Sari" is used. Along with the times, there are additional spaces in the Joglo house. However, the base of the house remains square.
