Tiruray House
The traditional Tiruray house is roughly only 3x5 meters, clearly intended for
a single nuclear family.
The houses, built up on posts that are about 2 meters off the ground, are
made of bamboo and wood with roofs of grass and a ladder that is pulled in
from the inside for security during the night.
The middle post holding the house up is decorated with various ornaments
toward of evil spirits.
There are no walls, only vine hangings of rattan. This is used as a defense so
people can attack from the inside the enemy when they raided using a bow
and arrow.
