About
These 16 shophouses were built in the late 1920s by Heinrich Rudolf Arbenz, a Swiss architect and civil engineer.
The History
Previously occupied by engineering and motor workshops, hardware shops, and other industrial businesses, the shophouses have since been sensitively restored and transformed into high-end townhouses.
The Building
The Art Deco style is evident through the use of geometric shapes in the design of the balconies and the brackets below them. Unlike most shophouses, whose roofs slope to the front and rear, these two-storey shophouses have gable roofs that together create a rare zig-zag roofline.
Guidelines and Procedures
All proposed works will need to comply with the Conservation Guidelines and the Specific Restoration Guidelines (SRG). Conservation Permission is required before all additions & alteration works and operations of new use can begin.
Residential Fronts are characterised by timber casement windows flanking a double-leafed timber door. All buildings with residential front which is existing and/or identified in the 'Specific Restoration Guidelines', regardless of land use zoning, shall be retained and restored.
