About
This Late style shophouse is one of the residential terraces marking the urbanisation of Joo Chiat after the 1910s, as middle-class families moved away from the crowded city.
The Building
Late style shophouses are noted for their highly decorated façades, often featuring eclectic East-West elements.
The Legacy
The project team carefully restored the ornate plaster mouldings, timber louvred windows, iron grilles, and glazed fanlight panels, while the interior was updated for modern-day living. Overall, the project demonstrates a sensitive approach to preserving the architectural heritage of the street.
