Honai is a traditional house of the people of the Central Papua and Highland Papua provinces, particularly the Dani. Honai has a simple, round-shaped structure with small doors and no windows. The height of the house is about 2.5 meters, and is divided into two parts: the lower floor and the upper floor. The lower floor is usually used for sleeping, while the upper floor is used for daily activities such as eating, relaxing, and crafting. In the middle of the lower floor, there is a hipere (hearth) used for cooking or warming the body.
