What is a "joglo"?
A joglo is a traditional Indonesian house or architectural structure, typically found in Java, characterized by its distinctive roof design. The roof has multiple tiers, with the central part being the highest, often supported by wooden beams. Joglos are known for their open layout, with large open spaces inside, creating a sense of flow and connection to the outdoors. These houses are built using local materials, such as wood, and are known for their natural ventilation, which helps keep the interiors cool in hot climates. Joglos are often used for family homes or communal spaces.
