Buginese houses, known as Rumah Buginese, are traditional wooden structures found in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. These houses are built on stilts, which helps protect them from flooding and pests. The roofs are typically steeply pitched and made of thatch or metal, designed to withstand heavy rain. The layout of a Buginese house often includes multiple rooms for family members, reflecting the importance of community and family ties in Buginese culture. The houses are usually adorned with intricate carvings and decorations, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistic heritage of the Buginese people.
