The houses of the Batak people in Sumatra and the Toraja people in Sulawesi (tongkonan houses) are noted for their stilted boat-shapes with great upsweeping ridge ends. The great hardwood trees required for large scale construction are now, however, in strictly limited supply.

A number of often large and sophisticated religious structures (known as candi in Indonesian) were built in Java during the peak of Indonesia’s great Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms between the 8th and 14th centuries. The island’s long tradition of religious syncretism extended to architecture, which fostered uniquely Javanese styles of Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, and to a lesser extent, Christian architecture. At the time, Javanese mosques took many design cues from Hindu, Buddhist, and even Chinese architectural influences (see image of “Grand Mosque” in Yogyakarta). Javanese mosque styles in turn influenced the architectural styles of mosques among its neighbors, among other the mosques in Kalimantan, Sumatra, Maluku, and also neighboring Malaysia, Brunei and the southern Philippines. The house provides the main focus for the family and its community, and is the point of departure for many activities of its residents. The World Heritage-listed Buddhist monument Borobudur was built by the Sailendra Dynasty between 750 and 850 AD, but it was abandoned shortly after its completion as a result of the decline of Buddhism and a shift of power to eastern Java. With the decline of the Mataram Kingdom, eastern Java became the focus of religious architecture with an exuberant style reflecting Shaivist, Buddhist and Javanese influences; a fusion that was characteristic of religion throughout Java.

Although religious architecture has been widespread in Indonesia, the most significant was developed in Java. Although they have elements in common with global Hindu styles, they are of a style largely unique to Bali and owe much to the Majapahit era. Although brick was used to some extent during Indonesia’s classical era, it was the Majapahit builders who mastered it, using a mortar of vine sap and palm sugar. Majapahit influencess can be seen today in the enormous number of Hindu temples of varying sizes spread throughout Bali (see gallery below).

Rumah adat are the distinctive style of traditional housing unique to each ethnic group in Indonesia. In 19th century, the sultanates of Indonesian archipelago began to adopt and absorb foreign influences of Islamic architecture, as alternative to Javanese style already popular in the archipelago. The Indo-Islamic and Moorish style are particularly favoured by Aceh Sultanate and Deli Sultanate, as displayed in Banda Aceh Baiturrahman Grand Mosque built in 1881, and Medan Grand Mosque built in 1906. Particularly during the decades since Indonesian independence, mosques have tended to be built in styles more consistent with global Islamic styles, which mirrors the trend in Indonesia towards more orthodox practice of Islam. These include the Mesjid Agung in Demak, built in 1474, and the Al-Manar Mosque in Kudus (1549) whose menara (“minaret”) is thought to be the watch tower of an earlier Hindu temple. Sultan Suriansyah Mosque in Banjarmasin and Kampung Hulu Mosque in Malacca for example displaying Javanese influence. The Dieng structures were small and relatively plain, but architecture developed substantially and just 100 years later the second Kingdom of Mataram built the Prambanan complex near Yogyakarta; considered the largest and finest example of Hindu architecture in Java. As with Hinduism and Buddhism before it, the new religion, and the foreign influences that accompanied it, were absorbed and reinterpreted, with mosques given a unique Indonesian/Javanese interpretation.
