I come from Pontianak, West Kalimantan. In my hometown, I really interested with unique house building. This house called Rumah Betang. Rumah Betang is one of unique house in Indonesia that used by dayaknesse to live and protect them from wild animals attact. As we know Kalimantan surrounded by a large number of forest, so there must be a lot of wild animals live in this island. Dayaknesse live in the forest and build Rumah Betang. Rumah Betang is very high house, and to reach the house they use stair. If all the occupant of the house was come together, they will take the stair.
Rumah Betang is made by Belian woods. Belian is strong woods from Kalimantan, people usually called it Iron wood. Rumah Betang decorated by dayaknesse ornament.
