The Skodeng Awek Iban, also known simply as the Iban longhouse, is a traditional communal dwelling of the Iban people, an indigenous ethnic group native to the island of Borneo, particularly in Malaysia and Indonesia. The Iban are known for their rich culture, intricate wood carvings, and skillful hunting and farming practices. The longhouse, or "Rumah Iban," serves not just as a shelter but as a symbol of community, unity, and tradition.

Despite its cultural significance, the traditional Iban longhouse faces challenges in the modern era. Urbanization, modernization, and the influence of global cultures have led to a decline in the construction of traditional longhouses and a shift towards more contemporary forms of housing.
