Traditional house of aceh
Indonesia is an archipelagic country consisting of traditional traditions and customs, and the traditional house of Aceh is included in one of them. This house is one of the traditional houses in Indonesia that use the stairs in front of the house to connect people who want to enter the house. This house is also called Rumoh Aceh or "Krong Bade". Krong Bade is a house with a uniform shape, all of which are rectangular, and are located extending from east to west. This direction determination is used to make it easier to determine the direction of the Qibla for prayer
If in Bali almost all houses have ornaments carved contained in the traditional house, not all traditional houses of Aceh have carvings, and even if the houses have a carved shape is not the same. This depends on the economic capacity of the owner of the house. If homeowners have economic abilities that are above average, they will usually have a house with fine carvings and luxurious. Vice versa, for people who have economic capability pas-pas or an average, so there are not so many carvings in his home.In ancient times, traditional houses Aceh roof is made of leaf rumbia. So if there is a case of fire, the owner of the house can immediately cut off the burned leaves, without difficulty. And in front of the house there is usually a jar or barrel to store water. This water barrel is used to store water for foot washing / cleaning feet if one wants to enter the house. Since the house is a few centimeters above the ground, this house needs stairs for people who want to enter the house; And the number of stairs is usually odd.
Krong Bade or Rumoh Aceh is a unique custom house, which has the distinctiveness of most traditional houses in Indonesia. Houses with classic architecture and made of wood and beautified with these carvings are not too interested by the people of Aceh who has been touched by the flow of modernity. This is because in building this house takes a lot of cost and energy in maintenance. Rumah adat Aceh is a type of house that requires care and extra economic capability in the process of manufacture, because the basic material of manufacture is wood and now it is rather difficult for the people of Indonesia in general to get the wood
