    The traditional Tausug house, called the Bay Sinug, consisted of 9 posts that corresponded to parts of the human body. It had walls made of split bamboo and a thatched roof made from materials like nipa palm fronds. The house was constructed using traditional bamboo joinery methods and had interior decorations like tapestries. The roof could be designed with decorative elements and vents, and the house sometimes included outdoor spaces like a balcony or elevated area above the main room.
