Sagan was the last colonial housing built in Yogyakarta around 1930s. It was located in the north of Kotabaru’s colonial settlement as a residential area of the Dutch officials or amtenaar who worked in the office for the Dutch governor (residen wooningen). Sagan has high historical values for Indonesia since during the period of The Republic of the United States of Indonesia this region became the home office area for the ministers and senior state officials. Unfortunately, at the present the colonial buildings in Sagan have undergone many changes while some of them have been replaced by new buildings. The objective and the limitation of this research are to study the spatial configuration as part of the whole architectural aspects in the colonial housing in Sagan. The limitation is based on the notion that the spatial configuration is the most essential design idea because space is the earliest part in the building designing. Thus, this study is expected to support the preservation of colonial buildings in Sagan. This study employed the interpretative historical research approach in which the researcher utilized his interpretation to reconstruct the original design of the spaces of the buildings in colonial housing in Sagan as well as its spatial configuration. ‘Space’ in this study means the inside and outside spaces of the building which are constrained by parapet while the analysis limited on shape and arrangement of space. Therefore, ‘space’ in the larger scope beyond the border of building area is not addressed in this study. The new buildings built to replace the original colonial buildings are not used as the object of research since they have completely different shape and arrangement of space. Before collecting the empirical data, the researcher collected data on the history of the development of colonial residential areas in Yogyakarta as well as the lifestyles of colonial societies around 1930s from various researches and related literatures as the basis for data collection and analysis. Furthermore, by using field survey method the researcher collected the empirical data of the building such as layout, view, cuttings and building pictures. Then, the researcher and the building owners reconstructed the initial layout of the building through interview. Subsequently, the results of the reconstruction layout were compared as a method for analyzing the spatial configuration of the buildings in colonial housing in Sagan. In this study, the researcher found that the spatial configuration in the buildings of colonial housing area in Sagan is similar with the spatial configuration of the colonial buildings in general. It is shown from the space separation between the owner and the housemaid which is materialized by the division of the main building (hoofdgebouw) and service building (bijgebouw) with a hallway which connects both of them, the front porch, the circulation of inner space in the main building which is located in the middle, and there is an inner court behind the building. In addition, the location, size and area width are the most significant elements to distinguish the types of colonial buildings in colonial housing area in Sagan.
