CONCLUSION •The arrangement and design of Batak houses involve the concept of location and orientation. The arrangement of houses in a settlement is an expression of the relationship of man with nature.•The building mass of a house has been highly abstracted to offer a sustaining sense of security against the uncertainties of environments in which change is inevitable but directions are perceived.•The study of Batak architecture reveals the understanding of how people create architecture which is not based on physical aspect of domestic living, but on its suitability for human needs that are both physical and spiritual by using materials available to them.
