This symbolic homage to the Tuhandan against each other. The House of lontik is estimated to be kebudayaanMinangkabau because of the influence of kabanyakan are found in areas bordering West Sumatra. Stairs of the House usually odd, even home-child lontik the stairs of lima, it is adakaitannya with the teachings of islam i.e. Islamic tenets. 

1. The origin of. 


Home of Sassy or Pencalang is the name of one of the traditional Counties of Kampar, Riau Province, Indonesia. In addition to the name of the home of Sassy or Pencalang, the House is also known as the House of the Lontik.

Called Sassy or Pencalang because of its front wall hangings foot shape similar to a boat, the shape of the walls of the House are tilted out as miringnya of the walls of their sailboat, and when viewed from far away form the House such as boat-houses (magon) made of ordinary residents.

While the name Lontik was used because it forms perabung (Ridge) roof melentik up. The House is the home of Sassy stage. The type of construction of the stage chosen to avoid the danger of attacks of wild beasts and window floods.

In addition, there is the custom of the society to use the space under the House as the enclosure of livestock, boat storage containers, place bertukang, where children play, and a wooden shed, in preparation for welcoming the fasting month.

 In addition, the construction of a house-shaped stage so as to enter it would have to use the stairs which had rung odd, lima, is a form of expression of the confidence of the community. The outer wall of the House entirely Sassy tilts out, unlike in the perpendicular wall.

 The front exterior wall beam load bearing curved upwards, and, sometimes, spliced with engraving on the corners of the walls, then it looks like the shape of the boat. Beam cover over the wall also curved beam semelengkung although it is not the object.

 Lengkungannya follow the curved side down the field of the roof. Both ends of the perabung given the ornament called bayung sulo. Whereas sayok lalangan ornaments on the four corners of the roof of the stream. There are various forms of decoration, which resembles a Crescent Moon, Buffalo Horn, spurs and so on. The existence of the House of Presumptuous, it seems, is the result of the process of acculturation of native architectural society and the Minangkabau of Kampar.

The base and the wall of the House that is shaped like a boat is typical of society whereas the roof of Kampar, tapering (Lontik) is a characteristic of Minangkabau architecture.

 The process of acculturation occurred because the architecture area of Kampar River Cruise, the Groove is Mahat, of the five Koto to the flat ground in Payakumbuh, Minangkabau. The five areas include Rumbio, Kampong Koto Kampar, water, Tiris, Bangkinang, Salo, and Kuok. Because of Kampar is part of the Groove Community mobility, then the process of acculturation is very likely to occur.

The result of the process of acculturation that appears from the uniqueness of the Sassy little House a lot different with the architecture of the buildings in the area of Riau Mainland and Riau Islands.
