This entirely hand carved, solid teak wood, authentic, Javanese house was constructed without nails, and with great ritual.  Located in our Main Aviary, it is the only one of it's kind in all of North America.

Javanese houses in the 19th century were for the wealthy and aristocratic class.  The “DALEM”, the front room, which would have originally been the central part of the original compound, was reserved for formal meetings with important visitors and the spiritual heart of the home is the large upper room. The front door, (as it did on the island of Java) faces south, the symbolic direction of the sea. 

The richness of the carving and the shape of the main roof (called a JOGLO), indicate that this house was built for a very important person. 

Many visitors have discovered hidden writings and blessings among the carvings and we continue ourselves to research the history and meanings behind them.

Be sure to visit, marvel and experience the artistry of this unique piece of history.
