At first Banjar traditional house building has a square-shaped construction that extends to the front.

But its growth, the long rectangular shape is received in addition to the left and right side of the building and slightly to the rear plus a room that same measurement. This addition in Banjar language is called disumbi.

And ultimately form ba-anjung home is no longer just a building form that are characteristic of the empire (the palace), but it has become characteristic of the building houses the Banjar.
Banjar Traditional House in Central Kalimantan and East Kalimantan

Then the form of house building is ba-anjung not only spread in the area of South Kalimantan, but also spread to the extent that the area of Central Kalimantan and East Kalimantan.

Although the form of houses found in Central Kalimantan and East Kalimantan has a slightly different sizes with Ba-anjung house in Banjar area, but form the main building is a typical traditional house of Banjar buildings remain visible.

In Central Kalimantan form ba-anjung home can be found in the West Kotawaringin area, namely in Pangkalan Bun, Kotawaringin Old and Kumai.

Spread form of traditional house of Banjar to Kotawaringin area is through the establishment of the Kingdom of Kotawaringin that the solution of the territory of Banjar kingdom ruled by the Sultan when Musta'inbillah.
