Aceh House / Rumoh Aceh - Indonesia

on 8 Apr 2010











Rumoh Aceh Aceh is a traditional house. Rumoh Aceh-type house on stilts with 3 main parts and an additional section. Three main parts of Aceh is home Seuramoe keuë (front porch), Seuramoe Teungoh (porch middle) and Seuramoe likôt (back porch). Meanwhile, an additional section that is rumoh dapu (home kitchen).

Rumoh Aceh can be seen directly in the Museum District in the city of Banda Aceh which was made in 1914 to Exhibition Venues in Semarang, Central Java. Then taken home to Banda Aceh in 1915 by Governor Van Swart (Netherlands), which is then converted into a museum so far. This building houses on stilts which form a narrow door, but inside the room is not insulated.

With the outside view black diseling brightly colored ornaments typical of Aceh, the building holds several collections of ceramics and paintings hero Aceh. When entered it will taste a thick atmosphere of tradition. How traditional Acehnese house layout is very pronounced. Starting from the arrangement of meeting rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and furniture storage daily. Of course this will be difficult to find now. 


But after the tsunami disaster two years ago, many who adopt this style of house on stilts. Some may think that the tsunami struck again would be much more secure with the type of buildings like this. Sure to be considered a more solid foundation, no longer than a stick. However the wisdom of the past always offers a medium of reflection. To always reflect yourself and keep learning greet each familiar with nature.
