If the creation of nature that most of the human creation can be called very small. As a symbol of each of the space created by humans always contains a certain meaning. All this is the result of your knowledge and the mastery of the art building, or in the foreign language called architecture.
Building from the Majapahit era uniforms, many of them are also symbols of his days, but here only form of the building will be discussed only; discussions are limited to the building housing only.
Source Java Architecture Research Kuna
To know the buildings there are necessary resources research, among others, form:
1. Archeological relics form the inscription, relief, miniature buildings, building foundations, the mosque there, there palace and others.
2. Works of literature
Script: Nagarakertagama writing Mpu Prapanca, Arjunawijaya and Sutasoma Mpu Tantular writing, writing Lubdhaka Mpu Tanakung, Kunjarakarna Mpu writing Hamlet, Sudamala and Sri Tanjung (unknown penulisya).

Foreign news: letters musafit China (Ma Huan year 1416 published the book Ying-Yai Sheng-lan; contains a description of other houses in Tuban and the author of Europe (Maclaine Pont, GP Rouffaer and Rijkloff van goens).
All sources of literature has provided a description of the house in the form of Java. Name of the houses that were given terms: going (home people), grha (home brass), wesma (a house with bamboo walls), mahanten (roofed house in the mountains is a ijuk and materials from the portico of four or six or Nyepi to forge love) , Yasa (hall meeting, painting walls and make other) and Rangkang (home to a small meeting place.
Source inscription mentions the name of waruga building (a kind of hall; see the text inscriptions Hantang year 1135 M) and baganjing (religious buildings; see the inscription Plumbangan year 1140 F). In addition to the name of the building, the inscription also mentions the building propped 8 (see the inscription year 1181 net M) and the building propped 8 of wood and yellow cloth strung from the mean (the inscription kemulan year 1194 F).
The shape of the House
Indeed, the shape and size of a house can show the class community residents. Houses in the palace with a different home for religious people and small houses. Houses in the Majapahit era still have a simple form. Through analysis and comparison with the relief of old buildings, can be concluded that there is essentially the form of three types, namely the title, kampongs and limasan. The home of the canopy has four poles and the canopy roof, the house is often used for the shrine or place of worship. The form of limasan and villages will be discussed in the other.
House Living
There are two forms of housing, namely limasan and villages that the data appear in relief. Explanation of the form of housing is so:
1. Limasan form of five types, namely:
limasan staple: four portico.
Limasan terminal: portico of four.
L; imasan bapangan: four propped
Limasan traju gold: six propped
Limasan sinom: eight propped
2. The shape of the village: a roof supported by four villages. Houses are generally owned by the people.
Traditional Houses
Javanese traditional house that contains elements of architecture and there is a lot made of limasan and Joglo. If this house without walls or open, then function as Pendapa, the meeting place. Before 1950 all Head, the subdistrict head to the Regent in Java have Joglo the open house for a meeting with residents or entertain guests who come. The building of this kind exist in the areas of the district in Java.
Closing
Study architecture will house the Majapahit era interesting, but the results are still hypothetical because there is no evidence or examples of Majapahit houses that still survived until now. Given that the traditional form of a house inherited by generations, through the archeological study etno-up of rural houses, mosque and palace in Java, hypothetical above will not slip too far.
