A joglo is the house of the Javanese, in Central Java and Yogyakarta. It does not stand on posts like the other two houses here: its floor is raised a little off the ground and there is no room beneath it. Its centre is the square carried by four soko guru, with the tumpang sari closing upward above it — and this house divides from the centre outward rather than from the ground up. The parts named on this screen — soko guru, tumpang sari, brunjung, penanggap, molo, umpak, senthong, gebyok, pendhapa — are Javanese words. The sun in this model is computed for Yogyakarta, 7.80° S and 110.36° E.
There is no single canonical joglo. The variants are many and they are named, and this model is one house the rules permit — not the house. The named series used here is documented; how many tiers each name carries is the author’s reading, and is tagged as such.
Orientation
The molo runs parallel to the front of the house, and the pendhapa stands before the dalem with the pringgitan between them. The arrangement is a rule rather than a choice, so there is no control that turns the building. Only the camera rotates.
