Second, residential buildings which include 3 types, namely the Kulawi house type, the Napu-Besoa-Koro house type and the Kaili-Sigi house type. Third, the barn which includes 2 types, namely the gampiri type, and the paningku type. The author mentions that the difference between the three forms of residential buildings is caused by the structure of the lower part of the house which affects the shape of the upper building.
