Merupakan Rumah panggung kayu. Bari dalam bahasa Palembang berarti lama atau kuno. Dari segi arsitektur, rumah-rumah kayu itu disebut rumah limas karena bentuk atapnya yang berupa limasan. Sumatera Selatan adalah salah satu daerah yang memiliki ciri khas rumah limas sebagai rumah tinggal. Alam Sumatera Selatan yang lekat dengan perairan tawar, baik itu rawa maupun sungai, membuat masyarakatnya membangun rumah panggung. Di tepian Sungai Musi masih ada rumah limas yang pintu masuknya menghadap ke sungai.
Rumah panggung secara fungsional memenuhi syarat mengatasi kondisi rawa dan sungai seperti di Palembang, yang sempat dijuluki Venesia dari Timur karena ratusan anak sungai yang mengelilingi wilayah daratannya. Batanghari sembilan adalah sebutan untuk Sungai-sungai yang bermuara ke Sungai Musi. Sungai Ogan, Sungai Komering, Sungai Lematang, Sungai Enim, Sungai Hitam, Sungai Rambang, Sungai Lubay.Namun, seiring berjalannya waktu, lingkungan perairan sungai dan rawa justru semakin menyempit. Rumah- rumah limas yang tadinya berdiri bebas di tengah rawa atau di atas sungai akhirnya dikepung perkampungan.
