Data collection applied a purposive sampling method in which the collected data were selected with a specific purpose.

The tourism building functioning as a restaurant in the Kintamani tourist area has undergone various changes from a traditional shape to a building with a modern facade. This change can be seen in facade details from the traditional shape and the composition of the building's forming elements has also changed. Tourism buildings have elements of modern facade formation but traditional values are within them, namely the extension of the roof ridge, and the building as a symbol. These traditional elements are not quite visible directly but in the building area, there is a sacred place that has traditional ornaments and has its meaning in a building.
