Sinadumparan- This type of house is the common two-sloped roof of either the rakuh or the

kusina. It is made of lime – and – stone with thick thatched cogon roof. Like most Ivatan houses,
a blank wall faces the direction where strong winds originate during typhoon. The absence of
regular-shaped stones in the island is evident as houses are made with extremely irregular and
rough pieces of rocks (lagat and pilñit). As in other types, the cogon roof usually lasts up to 25-
30 years with minimal repair.
