After a few days of rest due to illness, I am back to share interesting information about one of Indonesia's cultural heritages, the Kajang Lako Stage House in Jambi. Let's delve deeper into this unique and fascinating architecture.
External Appearance
The Kajang Lako Stage House has a strong visual appeal. The exterior of the house is dominated by a towering stilt structure, giving the impression of grandeur and grace at the same time. With balanced proportions, the house looks harmonious among the trees and natural surroundings. The wood structure used displays the beauty of natural fibers, giving it a warm and welcoming feel.
Charming Roof
The roof of this house has a distinctive pyramid or gable shape, providing protection from rain and direct sunlight. The steep roof design allows rainwater to drain well, preventing puddles and damage to the building. Although not covered with palm fiber, the roofs of these houses still look sturdy, usually using durable roofing materials such as zinc or tile, creating a combination of aesthetics and functionality.
The Front
The front of the Kajang Lako Stage House is a very striking element. The spacious porch is a place for interaction, serving as an open living room. With beautiful carvings on the columns, the porch adds to the overall beauty of the architecture. The main door is often decorated with regional ornaments depicting local myths and folklore. Large windows provide natural light and good air circulation, creating a cozy atmosphere inside the house.
Lower Part
One of the distinctive features of a house on stilts is its raised bottom. This structure provides several benefits, such as protecting the building from waterlogging during the rainy season and improving air circulation. Underneath the house, there is often an open space that can be utilized for various purposes, such as a playground for children or storage of goods. With its ideal height, the house is able to withstand various weather conditions, while providing a charming appearance.
Artistic Walls
The walls of the Kajang Lako Stage House are made of high-quality wood, carefully selected to ensure durability and beauty. The joints between the wooden planks are done with neat techniques, demonstrating the skills of the local craftsmen. The walls are usually painted in natural colors or left in their original wood color, highlighting the unique beauty of the wood grain. In addition, the walls are often decorated with carvings or traditional motifs that reflect the cultural identity of the Jambi people.
Conclusion
Rumah Panggung Kajang Lako is an outstanding example of traditional Indonesian architecture that combines function and aesthetics. Every element, from the exterior appearance to the wall details, reflects local wisdom and rich traditions. With its strong structure and beautiful design, this house not only serves as a place to live, but also as a symbol of the culture and history of the Jambi people.
