Revitalisasi Bangunan Warisan Belanda Melalui Pendekatan Desain Interior Berkelanjutan

Abstract

Indonesia is rich in Dutch colonial heritage buildings that are not only architecturally valuable but also contain historical narratives that shape local cultural identity. However, modernization and development often lead to physical degradation and the loss of social functions of these buildings. This study aims to formulate a revitalization strategy through a sustainable interior design approach based on adaptive reuse, aesthetic preservation, and community involvement. The method used is a qualitative case study on several objects, including Societeit de Harmonie (Makassar), Lawang Sewu (Semarang), Gedung Kerta Niaga (Jakarta), and Tjolomadoe (Surakarta). Data were collected through document studies, field observations, and source triangulation, analyzed thematically and cross-case analysis. The results show that the success of revitalization is determined by the balance between contemporary relevant adaptive functions, protection of historical character elements, and integration of socio-economic functions that empower local communities. The application of the principle of minimum intervention, compatible new works, and the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) model proved effective in maintaining authenticity while ensuring functional desirability. These findings provide contextual and practical support for the inclusive, adaptive, and contextual adaptation planning of cultural heritage buildings in Indonesia.
