Traditional Houses of Sumba

Sitting high

When you see how tall these houses are , you will understand why they are called uma bokulu , which means ‘ big house ’. These unique stilt houses are split into three parts . The middle section is used as a residence , the lower part is for livestock , such as chickens , pigs and horses , while the upper part is the store for farm food , such as paddy and corn .

Karena tingginya , rumah adat ini disebut “ uma bokulu ”, yang berarti ' rumah besar '. Rumah panggung unik ini terbagi menjadi tiga bagian . Bagian tengahnya digunakan sebagai tempat tinggal , bagian bawahnya untuk memelihara ternak , seperti ayam , babi , dan kuda , sedangkan bagian atasnya untuk menyimpan hasil tani , seperti padi dan jagung .
