That's because my grandfather was a traditional Balinese building architect all the buildings in my house were designed by him.

Can anyone answer what wrong with word architect? What wrong with grammar?

    Nothing that a bit of punctuation wouldn't fix.

    Nothing is wrong with the word architect, but it's unnecessary to add building because an architect is by definition a designer of buildings.. Commented Dec 24, 2020 at 8:59

    Should "all the buildings in my house" be "all the buildings on my property"? Commented Dec 24, 2020 at 9:02

That's because my grandfather was a traditional Balinese building architect all the buildings in my house were designed by him.

What's wrong with it:

  1. Is the word 'building' connected to the word 'Balinese' or the word 'architect'? Are you saying your grandfather was a 'building architect' or an architect of 'Balinese buildings'?
  2. What is 'traditional' related to? Was your grandfather a traditional architect, or did he design traditional buildings?
  3. You appear to have two clauses but no punctuation.
  4. You appear to have buildings inside your house?

I think it should be:

That's because my grandfather was a traditional Balinese architect. All the buildings around my house were designed by him.
