"Rumah Melayu Lipat Kajang" can usually found in the Riau Islands and the coastal part of Riau. It is called "Lipat Kajang"because the roof of this house has a shape resembling the shape of a boat. The top of this building is curved upwards and is often referred to "lipat kejang" or "pohon jeramban" by the locals. This traditional house is rarely or even no longer used by Riau residents. One reason for the loss of this culture is because of the increasing influence of western architecture, and people consider their building forms to be simpler and easier to build.
