I can't explain the character of each costum house, but I just can explain the character generally.
Oke,,, now I want to explain the character of that :
~ Construction of wood, because Kalimantan has lots of forests. Architecture stems from the traditional 'timber architecture' developed in this tradition because people in banjarmasin not known in the cement ago.
~ Architecture is the home stage or (rumah panggung in banjarmasin language), the structure houses are 'elevated', stand for the construction of wood, mostly ironwood (kayu ulin in banjarmasin language). Main structure is wooden stake from the ground up to the roof, and there are also beam-girder which help strengthen the floor.
~ Have a principles as a symmetrical, the same shape and number of windows on both sides.
~ Some buildings have Anjung, that is prominent in both the right and left side and lying in the back of the building.
~ Used a shingle roof is made from ironwood. Sago palm leaf roof of rumbia is also known. Saddle-shaped roof construction.
~ Has a ladder on the front and back, with the number of level are odd; five, seven, or nine.
~ Also have just 2 outdoors; in front and behind, there is no other door because the house is symmetrical form.
