About

Located on a sloping terrain, this pre-war Anglo-Malay bungalow features the extensive use of timber louvres around its façade for natural ventilation, in response to Singapore's warm tropical climate.

The Building

Other distinctive features that lend the bungalow its unique charm include the porte-cochère at the front, the balustrade of the external staircase at the rear, and the numerous plastered brick piers supporting the main floor.

The Legacy

Works carried out from 2001 to 2002 took advantage of the sloping terrain to create additional living spaces under the main floor, while restoring the bungalow to its former glory.
