- As Singapore's population grew during the colonial era, so did housing types. While most stayed in shophouses and kampongs, the wealthy and influential built grand houses that reflected their lifestyles. The Istana Kampong Gelam was built in the 1840s for the Sultan of Singapore and in the early 20th century, prominent philanthropist Tan Soo Guan built a Victorian-style bungalow at East Coast.
See how three colonial-era homes: The Istana Kampong Gelam, Tan's seaside bungalow and The Barracks Hotel in Sentosa have become modern abodes for culture, hospitality and living.

Well done Singapore for preserving your old buildings and finding new use for them. Other countries can learn a lot from you.
enormously well documented and presented programme
The Barracks Hotel project is a success ! Good job !
Singapore has alot of beautiful rustic architecture
Viewing is mind captivating!
Love the trees around the mansions
The windows utilizing both original and modern climate control measures is brilliant. Very, very well done design and restoration!
Enjoyed this series very much. It’s surprising to see the number of views so low!
Thanks for sharing, your video is interesting
So I wonder what are the descendants of the sultan family doing now? Just curious 😜
Murals not appropriate, did not depict the history of the place ,the orang Laut, bugis, the pilgrims, gelam trees, ships building, bottles that help built Masjid...n please bring back the Shisha, dear gov!
In Kuala Lumpur, most unique old building were pull down either it doesn't look ''Malay'' enough, or too ''Chinese''.
It goes down the same path just like the ''Pre Malay'' heritage across ''Tanah Malaya'' during independence, then later emphasise and generation of brainwash by racist politician as ''Tanah Melayu''. Everything been wipe out and more towards Arabization in Malay culture.
Pathetic.

No need to " misrepresent".
Contrary to your racist view, Malaysia does not try to erase heritage of Chinese community.
I presume you must the one racist Singaporean. But as goes the saying, one swallow does not make a summer.
What happened in olden days were lack of appreciation of unique features of old buildings.
So, many beautiful a tructures were demolished. Not because of racism but people at that time were indifferent to old building
But as we grow wiser, we begin to realise old structures have stories to tell, stories of days gone by.
So we begin to take notice.
Former premier Tun did once say that he was in his motorcade passing one street of KL. He saw a run down building, European styled that was about to be demolished.
He notices how beautiful the building must have been at its prime. Tun, being the PM ordered for the building to be repaired.
Now it houses Telecommunication Museum.
As for racist people like you, while we celebrate our diversity, let us not forget that when " your ancestors"landed in this land, they landed on land rules by Malay Sultans.
So. You too must not erase history by painting Malays as being racist
So boring
