• The most common house form is bumbung panjang . This type of roof gives good shading for the house and as the protection from solar radiation. It also as the gutter for rain and to prevent the rain from dropped onto the wall or into the building.
VERANDAH
• Balcony is the element resulting from extension of lepau. Level of anjung is built low than lepau to avoid the stairs from being too high from the ground level. Anjung also can be use as the rest area for the family and the place to chat between friends in the evening.

Column
• Column is one from the main structure. One of the column is called “tiang seri” situated in the middle where the ceremony to built the house is taken. A line of 4 columns at the front of rumah ibu make lepau one of the most unique area in house of Kedah.
FLOOR
• Malay Kedah’s house has two types of floors which are common floor and seldom floor.
• Common floor is used for almost area of the house to support live load and dead load refers to the uses of the area.
• Lantai jarang (seldom floor) can be found in bedroom at rumah ibu used if there is any emergency, diseased, or death.
• Each of these planks will be closely arranged to avoid the interval between the planks
WALL• Most of Kedah house
used plaiting bamboo or ‘papan cantik’ as their walls. To maintain it original traditional value we also has apply papan cantik at our chalet .
DOOR
• The main door ( 2 door leaf) is from anjung to lepau. There also a door (1 door leaf) which connect rumah ibu to bedroom and a door (1 door leaf) which connect rumah ibu to bath room.
WINDOW• Traditional Kedah house only
have one type of window.• This type of window known as
tingkap labuh.• This window can be found at
lepau and rumah ibu area and consists of 3 segments.
• These segments are formed from inflated plank panels.
• This window also built together with jerejak to avoid anyone from falling down onto the ground, especially children. Jerejak also have the function which allows air to flow into the house area and cool the house
STAIRCASE
• The main stair is situated at the front of the house that is stair at the front door to the lepau. This stair was built with joint method. The total numbers of stairs must be in odd numbers because peoples believe it is symbol of luck for the house owner. In the Islam, we are practice to start the step with the right step, so if the stairs is odd in numbers, people who start with the right step will end also on the right step.
HIGH FLOOR AREA• Usually, floor design for a Malay traditional house was built higher
than the ground level. With the higher floor area than the ground, the air that moves under the floor can cool the floor. Furthermore, it can prevent the house from water entrance during flood, attack of the wild animal and protecting the house from the thieves. This show, safety characteristics is the main factors besides providing comfortable in the house.
