which country's architecture in the picture?

Special houses - Why such style? I guess it is related to the local weather, too much rain every year.

I took this picture when I went abroad in June of this year, the houses are very special. This special architecture style was related to the local weather, but it was said it came from other country 600 years ago. Have you ever seen this kind of architecture style? in which country and where? Thank you.

I really love to travel and see different architecture. I know that I have seen houses with roofs a bit like that on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. I really liked the architecture there. I bought a model of a building there and two costume dolls for my collection.

If I had seen the model of that building, surely I would have bought it for collection also. Thanks for response.

Yes, you are really informed, it is on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. I took it when I visited there for business in June this year.
