5. Rumah Adat Honai, Papua
And the last traditional house from Indonesia is Rumah Honai. In the traditional Papuan house of the Dani tribe, you won't find many windows, as they are designed to withstand the cold. The Honai house itself has a distinctive circular shape with a conical thatched roof. However, you can still adapt the structure of the Honai house to fit the surrounding environment. In addition to being a dwelling, the Dani tribe also uses this building to gather and store ceremonial symbols, weapons, granaries, and agricultural produce.
