This study investigates how local architectural concepts can be embedded into river-based facility designs along the Walanae River in Paduppa, Wajo Regency, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative methodology encompassing field observations, stakeholder interviews, and literature reviews, the research identifies traditional stilt house structures, natural materials such as bamboo and wood, and site-sensitive spatial layouts as keys to addressing flooding and erosion challenges. By merging these traditional elements with modern design principles, this study advances sustainable architecture through a model that respects cultural identity and environmental resilience. Its scientific contribution demonstrates how local knowledge can inform adaptable frameworks for river-based infrastructure, thus promoting greater community participation, reduced environmental impact, and enhanced functional performance. The results furnish valuable guidance for urban planners and architects targeting ecologically and culturally sensitive settings worldwide. Moreover, the findings underscore the significance of collaborative planning to ensure that developmental initiatives foster inclusivity and ownership. Overall, this research bridges the gap between vernacular architectural practices and contemporary needs, revealing opportunities for broader applications in similar ecological contexts. The conclusions serve as a foundation for further studies on integrating indigenous architectural wisdom with advanced design solutions that prioritize sustainability and cultural continuity. This model is globally replicable worldwide.
