Abstract

Chinese settlement in Bandung is an inseparable entity that existed along with the development of the historical city. But due to the rapid development of the city and cultural restrictions policy during the New Order era, Chinese settlements are intentionally immersed socially by modernization and even neglected. Political changes by the end of the 1990s provide an opportunity for Chinese cultural practitioners to start preserving a culture. Many methods are conducted to conserve valuable heritage. One of them is to transform a Chinese heritage house attached with Chinese architecture elements, furnished the interior with Chinese style furniture so that it can educate society as well about the richness of the culture. The case study is the house of Mr. Lin at Gang Basalamah that was transformed into an art collector house. This paper aims to describe the transformation of the house and shows the physical elements that exposed Chinese contemporary culture. The research will be qualitative research based on purposive chosen sample on the house and explore the idea of sustainability that emerged from the transformation decision done by the owner. The research findings are the optimization of cultural revitalization as a result of the transformation of the house.
