Java-Malay is the classic form of a traditional Indonesian and Malaysian mosque architecture. Unlike mosques in the Middle East it is built from timber. The wooden tiered roof is supported by teak pillars. This form of mosque architecture is common in Javanese, Sundanese, and Malay cultural sphere in Indonesia and Malaysia. Sometimes modern mosque with Java-Malay architecture use ceramic material or metal based material as the mosque's tiered roof material and brick as main building material.
