Indonesia has a lot of traditional houses that become the identity of each tribe in the area. In Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara already has its traditional house, called the "Bale" in Central Lombok which belongs to the Sasak tribe in Central Lombok.

They have their own rules for building their traditional houses, for example, the construction time and the location according to the planning time. If they don't obey customary rules, they believe that bad luck will come when they occupy the house. Bale of the Sasak tribe has various types as well as its function.

Generally, the roof is made of thatch or thatch. Although there are several types of Bale in Lombok, this time I tried the "Bale Lumbung" model that I built in Aceh, but I made the roof from thatch leaves.

This Aceh climate adaptation Bale Lumbung is only in the same shape as the Lombok Bale Lumbung, whose tip of the roof is tapered the wider it is down, the straight down the wider it is underneath.

The shape is somewhat unique and interesting in my opinion, namely the house on stilts with the tip of the roof tapering and widening slightly then straight below and again widening at the bottom. We mix windows with poly ethylene plastic. On it I make a bed, under it I make a kitchen.

For steemians who want to try the sensation of camping here, I am waiting for their arrival to the address: Jalan Bandara Malikussaleh, Kambam Village, Muara Batu, North Aceh.
