Lamin House

Rumah Lamin or Lamin House is a typical traditional house of the Dayak People from East Kalimantan. Lamin is a word from the Dayak language that means "long". In one Lamin House there are usually 5 to 10 families. They live together.

A Lamin House consists of several parts. The main part is the centre of the house. It is called Lamin Adet. Here the Kepala Suku or chief of the group lives.

The front part, called Serambi, is for social activities.Meetings and socials gatherings are held here. The left and  right parts are called Lamin Sakai. Common people in the group live in these parts. Lamin Sakai is a very long building. It stretches around 50 to 100 meters. Of course it is too long to be used for one family.
