As for the walls of the house, floor, and roof use the technique of assembling or clamping or it can also be tied with rope. So that the building can be categorized as an elastic and flexible building.
The House of Sulah Nyanda has a shape and appearance that at first glance is similar to a traditional house in West Java, namely a house on stilts because the contours of the land in the Baduy people settlement are uneven, so the house is built in the form of a stage.
Where the surrounding community will pile up stones that have been taken from the river, it is intended that the building can stand firmly and can support the building on the ground even though the ground is uneven. So, if the land is shrinking, then the building remains standing upright, not moving.
The walls of the house are made of woven bamboo that has been woven with Japanese or vertical motifs. With the bottom made tightly and the top made a bit lose.
