| Abstract | The interior design formation of a typical Traditional courtyard shophouse is the basic housing typology of George Town Heritage City for many years and is harmonized in its architectural design identity formation. This type of construction clearly shows the influences of the Chinese, Malay, European styles; matured and merged together in response to the local environment. Thus, birthed the UNESCO history and recognition in 2008 Heritage City. Recent renovation on some shophouses has failed to sustain and preserve some of the components that gave birth to the Heritage City and possibly fading away from the architectural identity of the traditional courtyard shophouses. Therefore, the study investigated the interior traditional courtyard shophouses, with the concept of identity formation via case studies of Lot Nos. 3, 5, and 7 Lorang Ikan, built-in 1926 and also in the category of Late Straits Eclectic Style in George Town. A qualitative research approach was adopted to collate data via observation and secondary sources. The findings reveal that the identity of the components in Lot 3, 5 and 7 buildings still reflect the cultural and place identity of the traditional courtyard shophouses and thus, the need to be used as a guideline to remedial others. |
