About
This development comprises three pre-war terrace houses at 60, 62 & 64 Kim Yam Road and a new 10-storey extension, located beside the original site of Chung Cheng High School. The corner house at 64 Kim Yam Road was the former premises of Nam Wan Tea Company Limited, an established tea company which traces its heritage to Guai Jing Zhe, a tea master who came to Singapore from Anxi in 1906.
The Legacy
From 1998 to 1999, the houses underwent restoration works, with much attention given to sensitively integrating the new extension. As a tribute to the past, the new extension borrows the same diagonal cross motif found on the façades of the houses in its design.
