Betawi houses are typically one of three styles: "rumah bapang" (or "rumah kebaya"), "rumah gudang" (warehouse style), and Javanese-influenced "rumah joglo". Most Betawi houses have a gabled roof, with the exception the joglo house, which has a high pointed roof. Betawi architecture has a specific ornamentation called "gigi balang" ("grasshopper teeth") which are a row of wooden shingles applied on the roof fascia. Another distinctive characteristic of the Betawi house is a "langkan", a framed open front terrace where the Betawi family receive their guests. The large front terrace is used as an outdoor living space.
