Abstract
The contents of the paper will be about the faade
typology of nine Dutch Public Buildings and the Fort in
the Core and Buffer zone in Melaka. The aim of the
faade typology analysis is that it will contribute to a
better understanding of Dutch architecture in Melaka.
The objective is to clarify the faade typology of Dutch
Public Buildings in Melaka.
The methodology of this study has been done through
the qualitative descriptive method. The study of
principles of Simon Stevin (1548-1620) with regard to
the Fort, descriptive methods and statistical methods.
Through a descriptive method, the observational
method, an inventory has been made containing the
streets and total number of Public Buildings. Inclusive
measurements of the faades and of the doors and
windows. Using a statistical method: a presentation
was made of the location of the buildings, of this study,
in Melaka on a map.
The findings of this study are that Dutch Public
buildings in Melaka have influences of Dutch,
Portuguese and Chinese architecture and decoration.
Dutch architecture shows an exactitude and symmetry
in design. As can be seen in the bays and windows in
the Public Buildings.
Dutch elements are, among others, iron hinges on the
th
doors and windows. As of the 18 century a Portuguese
architectural influence can be noticed in the gable
endings and the arched openings of the galleries of the
houses. A Chinese influence is the green tiling on the
verandah or gallery of the houses.

Introduction
The methodology used in this paper is
Qualitative Research. Qualitative research
broadly defined, means any kind of research

that produces findings not arrived at by

means of statistical procedures or other
means of quantification (Strauss and Corbin,
1990). Documents were studies with regard
to the principles of Simon Stevin (1548-1620)
concerning the construction of Forts. Through
Qualitative research design, data with regard
to the Public Buildings and the Fort was
gathered. This was done through site vistis
and interviews. The Wide hall house
influenced the design of the Public Buildings
in Melaka as did Dutch building traditions.
Dutch architecture in Melaka, in the Public
Buildings, shows an exactitude and symmetry
in design. As can be seen in the symmetrically
placed bays, doors and windows. Simon
Stevin published in 1594 De Sterctenbouwing
(The Art of Fortification) in which he gave
guidelines on the construction of fortresses.

Methodology
A source of information that can be
invaluable to qualitative researchers is
analysis of documents. Such documents might
include official records, letters, newspaper
accounts, diaries, and reports, as well as the
published data used in a review of literature
(Hoepfl, 1997, p. 54).
With regard to this paper literature on the
principles of Simon Stevin (1548-1620) about
the Fort in Melaka has been studied.
Especially the principle De Sterctenbouwing
of 1594 (The Art of Fortification). In this
1

principle Stevin gave guidelines on the

construction of fortresses. The principle
Castrametatio (Camp Measurement) of 1617
also contained a description in which way
temporary army camps should be designed
for sieges.

the Fort are situated and a list which contains

measurements (height of the building, width
of the faade, ground floor window, ground
floor door, first floor window, front porch and
roof) and graphics.

Another methodological approach is the

qualitative descriptive designs which typically
are, according to an eclectic but reasonable
combination of sampling, and data collection,
analysis, and re-presentation techniques.
(Sandelowski, 2000, p.334).

Public Buildings

One of the types of the descriptive method

is the observational method. Part of the
observational method were site visits. The
result of these site visits was a general,
inventory of the Public Buildings in the Core
and Buffer Zone. Based on streets, numbers,
characteristics, design, usage and materials.
The general inventory was narrowed down
to 9 case studies. The case studies were
based on streets, faades (characteristics like
exactitude and symmetry) and elements like
among others windows, doors, airvents,
arches and wall anchors.
Another type of the descriptive method are
Interviews which were conducted with
Iesnordin Hj. Malan (Former Curator
Architecture Museum): lay-out plans of the
Architecture Museum and literature of
Melaka were discussed. With Puan Erne binti
Hamsah (MBMB) individual Public Buildings in
the Core and Buffer Zone, publications on
MBMB were discussed. Interviews were
conducted with drs Mohd Nasruddin Abd
Rahman, (Curator of the Stadthuys): lay-out
plans of the Stadthuys were discussed. With
Azmi Bin Mohd Yusof (Director Department of
Museums Malaysia) lay-out plans of the
Museum & Department of Antiquities
Southern Malaysia were discussed.

Architectural Influence
Wide Hall house
The design of the Public Buildings in Melaka
has been influenced by the Wide Hall house
from the Netherlands. The influence is
noticable because in the Netherlands these
kind of houses are deep and the faade is
turned to the street. In Melaka the sides
however are turned to the street. The hall
house has one story as have the Public
Buildings in Melaka.

Some houses in Malacca have been

highlighted to show the features of the Dutch
architecture overseas. It appears that the
17th century houses have been established
according to the Dutch building traditions
These building traditions were: plastering of
the walls, the ridge turning parallel to the
street and the addition of galleries in that
period are the main changes (Vis, 1988,
p.118).

Then statistical methods were used: A map

was made on which the Public Buildings and

The Fort

First in the 18th century, the houses are

influenced by local features, with Malacca, as
in the former Ceylon, a Portuguese influence
can be observed. The gable endings and the
arched openings of the galleries of the 18th
century houses are its most obvious examples
(Vis, 1988, p. 119/120). As for the faade
architecture Melaka is located, both
geographically and architecturally, in between
Batavia (Jakarta), Ceylon (Sri Lanka), and
South Africa (Vis, 1988, p. 120).
Location
The Public Buildings are located in Jalan
Kota (Architecture Museum, Department of
Museums and Antiquities, Stamp Museum
and the Fort), Jalan Geraja (The Stadthuys,
Christ Church) Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock (Two
Former Warehouses (Heeren-house), Jalan
Hang Jabat (VOC Building), Lorong Hang Jabat
(Former Warehouse/Shipyard and the
Guardhouse).

Stadthuys

18th century diagonal house, the

Architecture Museum, on an elevated base.
The city wall was only eleven meters away
from the faade. The elevated position
could take full advantage of the evening sea
breeze. The integrated open front porch on
the ground floor has five arched openings,
while the first floor has rod windows.
Remarkable is that the upper windows are
placed behind the rear windows. The rain
impact on these windows is reduced
through the overhanging roof (Vis, 1988, p,
119). On the faade of the ground floor
there are pilasters with a top.
A house, built before 1700, on Jalan Kota is
the house that currently houses the Department of Museum & Antiquities of the
Southern Region of Malaysia. The structure
has architectural similarities to other Dutch
colonial buildings in the tropics. The buildings
in the tropics have the same symmetry and
exactitude as the buildings in Melaka (De
Witt, 2007, p. 130).

Individual Buildings
Close to the Stadthuys there still stands an

The Department of Museum & Antiquities

of the Southern Region of Malaysia has an
open porch with 4 arches. On the first floor it
3

has 4 symmetrically placed windows with

louvres shutters. On the ground floor and first
floor it has five pilasters with a profile on top.
The house in which the Stamp Museum is
located has been built in the late 18th
century. The house is a combination of
different architectural styles: Malay, Chinese,
Dutch and Portuguese. The house is five bays
wide with a front and rear side gallery. The
arched openings at the front are probably the
result of a later renovation (Vis, (1988, p.
119). On the faade of the ground floor and
the first floor there are pilasters with a profile
on top.
The two-story building, of the Stadthuys
(1645), rests on a foundation of existing
cellars, which are originally almost entirely
hidden behind the main stairs. In the 30
meter wide facade dominates the heavy teak
cross frames. An iron window with rays over
the door frame, moulded keystones of the
window arches on the first floor and to this
day a hardly to be perceived lions head in the
shaft just below the cutter are the only
decorative additions to the faade. Later
introduced plaster layers have almost erased
the original plaster detailing. Also in the plan
the symmetry is highly implemented (Vis,
1988, p. 119/120).
The Dutch Reformed Church stands on the
east side of the square and is built in 1753. It
is a rectangular building measuring 14x37
meters. The faade has a semicircular top of
which the belfry is a 20th century edition. The
building consists of three aisles divided by
two rows of pilasters. Originally, after it is
completed, in 1753, the Church had white
washed walls. As had the Stadthuys after its
completion in about 1656. The church has an
open porch with arches, which was added
during the English period, and pilasters on the
faade with a profile on top.

form a hotel with the name Heeren-house.

(Temminck Groll, 2002, p. 280) On the ground
floor the house has a rectangular window on
the left hand-side and a large door on the
right hand-side. It has three windows on the
first floor with shutters. It has all the
characteristics of a shop house with Dutch
elements. Not much is known about the
architectural history of this building only that
it used to be two warehouses.
At Jonker Street 18 there is the VOC
building completed in 1673. Windows and
doors have been placed a regular intervals of
each other. The house has an entrance which
could have been used for coaches (or other
vehicles). It used to be an arch and it is also
an entrance door to the house itself.
(Measured Drawing. Northwest, 2001, p.
107). Over the door is a semi round, glass
filled, fanlight divided in seven panels. Both
the door for the entrance of the coach and
the one to the house are made of local
tropical wood. The kind of wood used yellow
wood. (Jaziah, 2010, p. 53). A decorative
wooden paneling (Carved Fascia board) has
been made at the front of the building. This
most probably is a modern addition to the
house. Since in the period this house was
built no overhanging roofs were made at the
front of the house. It had a straight faade at
that time.
At Lorong Hang Jebat 42a&44a stands a
building which may have been used as a
warehouse or shipyard. The building has an
open porch with six arches on the ground
floor. The first floor has one big window on
the left, a smaller window in the middle and
two bigger ones at the right. It has an
overhanging roof which reduces the rain
impact. On the walls of the building are (on
the ground floor and first floor) five pilasters
with a profile on top. The windows on the
first floor are cross-bar windows.

The rather modest building of the

Guardhouse at the Porta Trenquera is located
beside the Malacca River. It was used by the
VOC as the boom office (tax office) for
Malacca. It was the office of the syahbandar
har our aster a d the guard at the usto s
office. This building served as the centre for
the harbour taxes in Malacca. Until recently,
the building functioned as the co-operative
office for police personnel. (De Witt, 2007, p.
141).

Characteristics
Dutch architecture in Melaka, in the Public
Buildings, shows an exactitude and symmetry in
design. As can be seen in the symmetrically
placed bays, doors and windows. The faades
of the Architecture museum, the Department of
Museum & Anitquities, Stamp Museum, Christ
Church and the Former Warehouse/Shipyard
are divided in bays. In all the buildings the doors
and windows are symmetrically placed in the
faade.
Dutch elements in some buildings are
rectangular or semicircular airvents which are
placed over the door or windows in the outside
wall like in the Stadthuys and the VOC
Building. The VOC Building, Christ Church and
the Stadthuys have fanlights. Most Public
Buildings have front porches. Except for the
Stadthuys, VOC building and Christ Church.
The front porch of Christ Church was added
during the English period. The buildings have
hinges on the doors and windows which are
Dutch in design and allow the windows to open
inward or outward. Over the windows of the

Stadthuys moulded keystones have been

placed. The Stadthuys, Christ Church,
Architecture Museum, Department of Museum
& Antiquities, Stamp Museum and the Former
Warehouse/Shipyard have pilasters on the
faade. In each of the carved doors of Christ
Church, which are at each side of the main
entrance, a sailors head has been placed. The
Architecture Museum, Department of Museum
& Antiquities, Stamp Museum, the Stadthuys,
The
VOC
Building,
the
Former
Warehouse/Shipyard
and
the
Former
Warehouses (Heeren-house) have side gables.
A stucco ledge has been placed on the faade
of the Architecture Museum, Department of
Museum & Antiquities, Stamp Museum, Christ
Church and the Former Warehouse/Shipyard.
The Stadthuys has a stucco element in the wall
of the faade and a stucco base at the bottom
of it. Stucco pironnen have been placed on top
of the side gable of the Architecture Museum
and Stamp Museum. The Architecture
Museum, Department of Museum &
Antiquities, Stamp Museum, the Stadthuys,
Christ Church and the VOC Building have terracotta tiles. The sloping (shallow) roofs of the
buildings are covered with tiles. These were,
sometimes, taken as ballast on the ships,
imported from Holland, or they were locally
made. Some buildings have iron wall-anchors
in the outside walls of the houses mostly on
the level of the first floor. These were put
there to secure the beams which were in the
walls on the inside of the house. The doors and
windows have heavy hardwood framing. On
top of the sidegable of the Stadthuys a
weather vane has been placed.

Stevin published in 1594 De Sterctenbouwing

(The Art of Fortification) in which he gave
guidelines on the construction of fortresses.
The Stamp Museum has a window with
shutters. The full length windows with shutters
with louvres on top can be found in the faade
of the Department of Museum & Antiquities,
Stamp Museum and VOC Building.
Stevin elaborated in chapter 2, 3 and 4 on the
explanation of the construction and building, in
theory and practice, with the bastioned
hexagon as the easiest example and
subsequently of other regular polygons, i.e. the
5-, 7-, 8-, 9- and 10- angle (Vanden Berghe &
Devreese, 2002 p. 9). The fort in Melaka was a
rectangular pentagon (five sided) although the
sides did not have the same length. Melaka was
a fixed fortification.

The fort was built close to the sea due to the

engineering skills of the Dutch. It was also built
at the estuary of a large navigable river. The sea
was, according to the ideas of Simon Stevin, a
defense against any enemies. The fort had
earthen walls which were not so heavy in the
swampy area, brick walls and wooden
stockades. It had 7 bastions and 2 half-angels.
A ditch surrounded part of the fort to protect
the northern tip of the fort. It was later
extended to enclose the fort completely on the
landside. It also had a moat from the river to
the sea around the eastern part of the fort. The
completion of this moat turned the fort into an
island.
After the conquest of Melaka by the Dutch the
intention was to reconstruct the fort according to a geometrical system, which meant exactitude and symmetry. Exactitude was shown
in the design of the fort by straightening out
the walls and removing any irregularities which
disharmonize so as to achieve a balance. (Irwin,
1962, p. 34). It was also shown in the fact that
the bastions were almost exactly the same
(Irwin, 1962, p. 36).

Melaka was a five sided rectangular pentagon

and the preferred design of Simon Stevin.
(Irwin, 1962, p, 34). Many outworks were
constructed at the fort to which the same
principles of exactitude and symmetry were
applied. (Irwin, 1962, p. 34)

Findings
Dutch architecture in Melaka, in the Public
Buildings, shows an exactitude and symmetry
in design. Most of the buildings are rectangular
in form which shows a balance in size and
measurements. The side faades of the houses
are facing the street. The buildings have bays,
doors and windows which are symmetrically
placed. The bays in the faades of the buildings
are similar in size and design, the doors are
similar in size and design and the windows are
similar in size and design.
Dutch, Portuguese and Chinese Influences.
Dutch
Dutch elements of the Public Buildings are:
airvents, fanlight, front porch, hinges, moulded
keystones, pilasters, a sailors head, side gables,
stucco ledge, stucco element, stucco base,
stucco pironnen, terra-cotta tiles, weather
vane and wall anchors.
Portuguese
As of the 18th century a Portuguese
architectural influence can be noticed in the
gable endings and the arched openings of the
galleries of the houses.
Chinese
A Chinese influence is the green tiling on the
verandah or gallery of the houses.

Symmetry showed in the design of the fort.

The perfect shape for a fort was a rectangular
pentagon according to the military design of
around 1640. A fort of this shape presented a
precisely similar front in all directions and had
no weak points to an attacker. The fort of
