The architectural style of Gedung Raja Abdullah portrays a hybrid architectural infusion of several architectural influences, namely, the Dutch-colonial, Vernacular and Bugis architecture. Overall, the Dutch Colonial influence dominated the architectural design of Gedung Raja Abdullah, with its simple and without carving details at both windows and doors, column style, gable roof, thick stone wall, and building orientation. Besides that, the local Malay Vernacular are displayed through the use of locally available building materials, such as stones and sands from Klang river and eggs, the usage of traditional Malay Wooden Tanggam joinery methods; timber framed thatched pitched roof; wooden windows and doors panels; including traditional Malay staircase railings design. The Bugis influence can be seen through the original open plan of the residential space planning of Gedung Raja Abdullah at the upper floor.^[11]
