Many
of Pekanbaru's buildings, including ones recently constructed, are
built in traditional Riau-Malay architectural style. One of these
buildings is Balai Adat, or Adat Community House at Diponegoro Street.
Decorated with woodcarvings and woven cloth motives, its architecture
represents the glory of Riau-Malay culture. Balai Adat has initially
been built to accommodate various activities relating to Resam Malayan
Riau custom, but now is also the place for various meeting gatherings.
