The method used in this study is the qualitative and narrative approach of the observation and literature review on Lamin located in Pampang Village, Samarinda. The time of conducting the research from February to April 2020 (3 months) The study shows the existing condition of communal space in Lamin is multi-functional, where the shape of communal space is rectangular (dadoq), the texture is consistent with the authenticity of the material which is ulin wood, the color comes from the natural color of nature, the building oriented on the upstream and downstream of the rivers, and the place of the communal space is in front of the belawing. The connotative meaning contained in visual elements includes the concept of a close relationship between humans and nature, humans and humans, and humans with the supernatural realm. Efforts to explore visual meanings are a way of improving the quality of the building environment as well as balancing the functions of the communal space as a unifier for society. The concept can enrich science in modern architecture, especially architectural sociology and psychology.
