Banjarese architecture

While houses dating back to the sultanate of Banjar are rare, the traditional style of architecture of the Banjar people has been adopted by modern architects in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.

[1] The most well-known style is the bubungan tinggi, which were originally houses with high, ridged roofs and were occupied by royalty, nobility, and state officials.

The name "Bubungan Tinggi" refers to its sharp roof (45 degrees steep).

This type of house became so popular, that people out of the royalty also took interest in building it.

It is the main figure in both South Kalimantan and Banjarmasin's coat of arms.
