Dutch Dwelling Design In Adapting The Warm-Humid Climate In Indonesia
Abstract
Dutch colonial remained some of their dwellings in Indonesia that the Indonesian army has functioned some of them as houses or guesthouse. Meanwhile, some others occupied by the local people have been renovated to be a hostel, cafe, and shops and also demolished to be contemporary building design for various functions. In Banda Aceh, the dwellings resided by the army has been claimed by the heritage council to be part of heritage conservation buildings. As the houses perform the vibrant characters of tropical architecture in a warm, humid climate, this study aims to analyse the design, including the house layout, building materials, and apertures types. The data was collected through observations, field measurement, and interview with the owner. In this case, one typical Dutch house in Kuta Alam, Banda Aceh becomes a study case. The study found that most of the houses that are stilt and made from timber are built in large lot with different zoning of main activities and services. The window size is large in jalousie type and designed in cross ventilation. The roof is clay tile with high ceiling. This study will enrich the way to improve the house design in a warm, humid climate for achieving natural comfort such as sufficient daylight and acceptable naturally thermal comfort and hence reducing the energy use.
