TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE OF BETAWI HOUSE

Allow me to introduce my self, My name is Jidia, i'm native from Jakarta, we called native for Jakarta is Betawi.  I want to share about native culture, for acquaint to all people which interest about culture, uniquness, traditional and local wisdom.

Today i want to share about traditional house Betawi. When i was elementary school (about in nineties), in my livelihood we can found  many house etnic style, we said  KEBAYA, similiar name for traditional clothing.

Jakarta is a capital of Indonesia, as a goverment center and business center. is a double purpose need Jakarta endure. Now,  Jakarta so  plural people many etnic from Indonesia. they come to Jakarta to getting better life. So where we find native people, we can find native  in outskirt Jakarta, Tangerang, Bekasi, and Depok. Goverment and corporate need space to build places to support  many activites.

If you eksplore some Jakarta region, we can hear unique name places, seems like kebon Jeruk, Kebon Kopi, Kebon Kacang, etc. (orange farm, cofee, banana, bean). next  i will review about unique name and history some places in Jakarta.

Back to the topic, i live in west Jakarta actually in Meruya Utara , just one meter  from Banten provence.
Now Betawi people rarely have etnic house, they change house  more modern style, its common style. is a big question why they change house style,  yeah they get inspiring from their city look modern concept. and of course about maintenance. Kebaya House from wood mateials,difficult to maintan than brick.

So, this is some picture Kebaya House in my environment.



we find seat places for  together and the floor from  soil



they have front yard


Soka flower  yard


This House there's no owner house, because the owner has a died. and just left and not maintened.
