Javanese House is well-known as one of the significant vernacular architecture Indonesia which is built by indigenous people. The local builder holds on the philosophical and cosmological concept for the spatial plan arrangement of the Javanese house. Each space has its proper function and meaning which is reflected from the society and culture of Java.

This final design might show that the local builder has followed the application of Vitruvius theory: Firmitas (strength), Utilitas (functionality), and Venustas (beauty).
