Honey or Honai?

Let's count 1, 2 and 3. Yes, this is the third Indonesian traditional house in our blog, Honai House! Without any further, let's see what Honai House is
Honai house is Papua traditional house which is being occupied by Dani tribe. Dani tribe is an old tribe that exist in Papua beside Asmat tribe. Honai house is formed by woods with cone roof that is composed by straws.
Honai house has a very small door and it doesn't have any window. Actually, there is reason why Dani tribe build a house with small size. That's because this small house without windows will protect Dani tribes from cold air.

Honai house consist of 2 floors!! Can you imagine this small house consist of 2 floors? This is the special ability of Dani house in architecture. First floor is used for sleep and the second floor is used for relax, eat, and others family activities. Honai house's height is only 2,5 meters and it has middle part which is used for bonfire.
Still can't believe that Honai house has 2 floors? Just see and come. You will see how indigenous people can't be undermined in the aspect of art intelligence.
