Besides, additional room was also built at the back of the house which also had the same measurement (disumbi).

In the further development, there are more buildings built not only around the sultanate but also in other areas which imitated the form of Bubungan Tinggi House. Since the architecture of this house has been adopted by all people in Banjarmasin, Bubungan Tinggi House does not become the special characteristic of sultanate (palace), but it has become special characteristic of Banjar society’s house.

The existence of Bubungan Tinggi House in South Kalimantan is not only as the identity of traditional building, but also as a reflection from the social-economic layer of the society and the implementation of Banjar people’s intelligence in facing the nature where they live.
