Answer:

Lava temperature is 700-1,200°C, so it melts or ignites most things. A house on stilts of titanium or tungsten might survive, if the stilts were strong enough to withstand the lava pushing against them. Can lava melt a diamond? Lava on the surface of the Earth has a temperature range of 700–1200C.
