Normally, an Iban village would only have one longhouse, which is built in a straight line with a rectangular shape and is made of sturdy hardwood posts, and beam structures. Traditional longhouses are made primarily from natural materials such as timber, bamboo, palm tree, palm leaves, and rattan. Usually, bamboo is used to build wood barks and palm thatch roofs. The concept resembles the terrace row houses, with each living being divided by walls and sharing a common street.

The Iban's house is known as the longhouse, in which the villagers will live under one roof. This Iban longhouse was 500m long and had 29 rooms. Each room was basically assigned to one family. A typical longhouse has 20 to 25 doors but sometimes it can have up to 60 doors. Surprisingly, Sarawak has around 1,500 longhouses, most of which are located along major rivers and their tributaries.

The Ibans were Borneo Island's first inhabitants. They are primarily found in Sarawak, Sabah, and west Malaysia in Malaysia. The Ibans were a greatly feared tribe in Borneo long ago as they used to be a very powerful and successful warring tribe. Now, the days of headhunting and robbery are long gone as the Ibans have lived in the modern era of globalisation and technology.

The interior of a baruk usually includes a traditional stove and a fireplace, which are mostly used for cooking purposes during special events or during rituals. The baruk only has one door, which is accessed by descending a set of stairs. One interesting thing is that the roof of a baruk is the window, which can be opened depending on the necessity for ventilation.

Do you know that the Bidayuh villages never used iron nails in building the baruk? These strong and long-lasting structures are held together solely by ropes made of tree bark and rattan. Baruk architecture typically employs a joint system to hold building elements in place.

A traditional Bidayuh longhouse's main part is called baruk. According to history, Baruk was once a gathering spot for Bidayuh warriors. Usually, their personal objects are commonly stored inside the Baruk. Some Baruks may have human skulls of Bidayuh opponents that were hung in the Baruk during the headhunting days. Scary right?

After the Iban, the Bidayuh are Sarawak's second biggest indigenous ethnic group. The Bidayuh of Sarawak can speak about 20 dialects. Cool right?

The most noticeable part of this house is the border of the roof that is covered with carvings.
