Abstract

This article is a part of the results of my research on "The Shape, Function and Meaning Changes of Interior Design of The Prince's Residence in Surakarta". The research was carried out using 
literature and observation methods. The research aimed at studying the historical development of Javanese traditional houses from time to time.This study covered the prehistoric period, the 
influence of Hindu-Buddhist period, of the Islamic period, of Western period, Kasunanan in Surakarta period and the independence period of Indonesia. The result of the research showed that the 
house of a Javanese had its basic shape although it was very simple. The basic shape of a Javanese traditional house was called as a local genius. The architecture of a Javanese traditional 
house had developed into a better shape over time. The shape development was influenced internally and externally by Islam, Hindu and Buddhist and Western (European) culture. These various influences were processed by Javanese people into a new form without leaving the original form behind.
