*3.3.1. The characteristics of the house used as the sample*

The characteristics of the modern house used as the sample in this present study included the whole area of the house, the area of the room, the area of the terrace, the height of the wall, the number, height and width of the door. All the componential dimensions were adjusted to the dweller's anthropometry as presented in **Tables 5** and **6** [24]. **Figure 12** [24] shows a modern Balinese house which built of concrete block wall with a bamboo‐reinforced concrete system.

**Figure 13** [24] shows a typically modern three‐dimensional model of simple Balinese houses which has been analyzed to define deformation at the top of the structures under earthquake load. From the result of the three‐dimensional analysis of the house, the maximum horizontal displacement was 1.71 cm with the building height was 5500 cm, thus the displacement ratio

The measured building physical comfort included the temperature, humidity, noise, and the natural illumination. It was measured at 6 a.m., 12 a.m., 6 p.m., and 12 p.m. The results of the

#### *3.3.2. Structural performance of the house*

The structural performance is defined as a ratio of the most maximum horizontal displace‐ ment to the height of the building. The building was analyzed in three‐dimensional model as
