Ipoh, once was the most productive tin ore field in Malaysia, has faced development growth that caused an immense number of dwellings called the shophouse that was built along the street since the colonial era. Many of them are still survive until today and become the cultural heritage property. The unique feature of the shophouse is the various architectural styles of the façade due to the revolution of the architectural design movement. Among these styles, the significantly different shape is traditional and modern. This paper discusses on a research that aims to establish a taxonomy to classify the characters that distinguish the traditional and modern styles of heritage shophouse façade in Ipoh, Malaysia. The results were obtained through a literature review and data analysis from the fieldwork. It shows that several characters portray the identity of traditional and modern styles that can be seen on the structure, building enclosure, opening, fenestration, and ornamentation. The findings may add knowledge in the process of classifying architectural styles of the heritage shophouse facade in Ipoh for the purpose of documentation, conservation, or restoration of the original design of the building facade.
