This is such a brilliant series by CNA! I salute all the architects & Singaporeans who treasure, preserve, and re-design the shophouses to become such creative & lovely living spaces! Well done! 👏🏼👏🏼
For us foreigners SINGAPORE is a cultural heritage, very clean, the people especially at ANG MO KIO are very friendly, there are parks where you can go jogging or just for a leisurely walk, the food and fruits are cheap, especially when you buy at the wet market, good education and most 9f all very very safe🤩😘😍🤗😎
I love co-living. When I moved to Tokyo years ago, I did a co-living in a sharehouse. The occupants were around 20 people from around the world. It's such a great experience as everyone's very helpful, all of us got along really well and the place itself and the location's fantastic.
Koon Seng road shophouse is the ONLY well designed & successful project ! The Architect redesign the internal space to be open, spacious, modern, bright & airy ! Facade is classic, timeless & elegant ! A beautiful piece of Architecture ! This is functional ART ! Original shophouse floorplans are usually long, narrow & impractical ! The other projects lack boldness, creativity & imagination !
Missed my shophouse at Dalhousie lane at tekka. Where 5 families shared in one house. We played at the back lane. The families still keep in touch until now.
Co-living is acceptable in town shophouses which are mixed commercial and residential use. However, it is not suitable for a condominium setting. Many are now illegally subdividing the living room and dining rooms into bedrooms and stuffing as many as 8-9 people in a 3-bedroom apartment. They abuse the common facilities by bathing daily in the swimming pool bathrooms due to overcrowding, thereby increasing the water consumption, which is in turn paid for by all the condo occupants in the form of increased service charges. This in addition to using the condo's clubhouse, pavilions and function rooms now as their own daily living spaces. Because none of these people would directly lease the property from the landlord but through co-living companies, it will be hard for the authorities to track the period each tenant actually stays for, thus very short-term leases may occur in order for these companies to maintain profitability. Given the transient nature of these co-living tenants, it presents a big security risk to the other families residing there. There have already been incidents in which co-living residents were drunk and disorderly in the Orchard area, much to the displeasure of their neighbours. The authorities must think about regulating and restricting co-living to only certain types of buildings and areas for the harmony and well-being of its citizens.
They definitely attack Thailand and Singapore like "involved by them", singapore definitely disallow their existence to biz in here, like claiming to be believed as Thailand.
Number is troublesome, like "1939" as target number 1939/5000, maybe if just add "Target:" like that will be fair so no misunderstanding as "Year", if making it clear.
Lol... Uniquely Singaporean and you can't find them anywhere else in the world? Plenty in Penang, Malacca and you can event see them in Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur.
We can find n still see these double storey shophouses in Southern China, in Guangdong region, that was where it originated n brought down by chinese immigrants, though not sure abt the Peranakan tiles, that could be from the Portuguese influence in Malacca n Penang n then brought down to Spore. When l was in Portugal in 2017 n 2018 l saw many colourful tiles on their houses n also a documentary on Portuguese original deep blue tiles n history. It was fascinating.
I've always been fascinated by the history of the buildings around world and where the type of architecture originates from so to me any info regarding those are interesting.
Anybody who can afford one of these and have children would buy a big suburban house with a pool more conducive for the kids. So these shophouses have an extremely niche target market. They can only appeal to very wealthy people with no kids.
Billion dollar global insight to max profits and charity donations via monetisation in anime, real life, movies, gaming or thesis. Funnel funds into conserving historical buildings by selling the concept to billionaires on building their brand new homes or existing historical old buildings with man-made old or historical exterior (walls, windows, fences and doors), but the inside is space or cutting edge architecture, furnishings and tech.
love these shophouses. they are all over SG. please keep protecting them.
I just love that

小弟 agree that uncle mamak said that “young people have new ideas” is veri spot on siaZ.

Just lovely 😊
Correct Mr. Ang, No mountains, And the Hills Now Lost all Gone.
Were used for Land Reclamation ie Southen Coast Marine Parade.
I would love to book a stay at Hotel Soloha soon~
What about Tanjong Pagar shophouses? You guys forget to include it?
You can find all these shop houses in Georgetown, Penang.

Who says we can find this kind of shop-houses else where in the world. Well, there are heaps of them in Penang and Malacca.
If it's shophouses, the pathway definitely not meant for cars but bicycles, Becak, small ones TukTuk maybe?
Can see it's a house, 2 lanes then each is shophouses. Just now at starting part.
Anyway "street of Bangkok" group is here definitely will be deadly, can't be for cars I think. Will be weaker if they car along?

Entry point if just Abit bigger than Becak size? Will be nicer? Have a fence, if no gates means after 12am still open maybe?
"Hair Saloons open past midnight" *wink* *wink*

Children, notable by their absence.

no jalan besar, wtf
