The simplest Javanese houses have bamboo frames, posts of coconut or teak wood, and roofs of dried palm-leaf or earthenware tiles.The walls are usually made of plaited bamboo sheets, called gedek. Such houses are normally rectangular in shape, with few or no frills.
The houses of those who can afford them however, are much more elaborate and can take many shapes. Limasan is the most often seen and joglo is among the grandest.
