Datuk Seri Ar Lim Chong Keat, former PAM
Gold Medalist once said during the Baba Nyonya Convention in 1989;
‘It is to me like a spiral that is ever expanding. If
you are expanding the spiral it becomes hollow in the middle. If you have
another kind of spiral that is inward going, it is chasing its own navel
literally. It’s forgetting about expanding. So what you need is both. You need
two simultaneous spirals, one moving into the future and another consolidating
the past’ The
Straits Eclectic architecture, also known as the ‘Baba Nyonya’ or ‘Peranakan
Cina’ architecture is one of quaint elegance. It is
typified among others by its linear spatial arrangement resulting in a narrow
but longish form, emphasis on heavy ornamentation and spaces that reflects the
tradition and beliefs such as the courtyard or ‘chim chae’. The Allworth House is an attempt at interpreting the Straits
Eclectic architecture within a contemporary context. Hence it is much like two
simultaneous spirals, one moving into the future and another consolidating the
past. The Allworth House is located at the fringes of the Melaka Heritage Zone and was formerlyoccupied by three dilapidated shop houses. The shop houses were combined into one office, refurbished and given a new facelift.
