This week, we tour a beautifully restored terrace house at Hoot Kiam Road. This road is named after Song Hoot Kiam, who is reputedly the forefather of the oldest Straits Chinese Family in Singapore. Untouched for a decade, this was formerly a worker’s dormitory until it was acquired by Sharline and Prakash. Under their careful watch, they have transformed this 2-storey 2,500 square foot terrace into a beautiful space.
The front of the house was retained as a place to sit, relax and entertain. It still retains the breeze blocks (as it does at the back too for continuity). The dining room houses a solid teak wood table that can sit 10. Further on, the courtyard which is the highlight of the house has patterned tiles on the floor, with an intricate feature wall stone carving.
As for the second floor, they had to replace all the flooring as the roof had leaked previously. The master bedroom was huge, which was a combination of 2 rooms from before. The hard part was to create an en-suite bathroom, but they managed to do so with a hand carved his and hers dual vanity. The nicest part of the second floor is probably the exposed brick roof and the original timbre beams which they restored really nicely.
Special thanks for Sharline and Prakash for showing us around this lovingly restored home. For more, please visit: / 12hootkiam

Nothing more, nothing less, a good balance of space and comfort with strong identity. Brilliant and good taste.
Thank you! 😄
The colours, carvings & study room with restored windows. 🤩
Thanks for watching 😍
The design and details speaks Sri Lanka meets Bali. Clever use of breeze wall for privacy at the back of the kitchen.
Thanks for sharing!
Glad the air well/courtyard was retained. This is such a nice practical and relaxing feature due to the air circulation and cooling but light experience it brings.
Retaining the air well/courtyard was a brilliant move. It adds practicality and a serene ambiance to the space.
The owners articulated their vision for the house so well. Congrats on the lovely home!
There is something not only nostalgic yet au courant; magical and whimsical yet inspiring. Well done!
Beautifully said! The blend of nostalgia and modernity is truly captivating.
Seeing this house transports me elsewhere, out of S'pore. It makes me want to recall the memories of the past
Thanks for watching!
So beautiful. The carvings are so captivating
Glad you loved it!
Its so peaceful! The cravings in blue and the pink walls, with rattan accents. Plus, that background music❤
Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful. Really love the courtyard. They should add plants there
A beautiful house transformation indeed! Thanks for watching, David 😍
Hiasan dalaman pada pendapat saya ianya membawa suasana 70an. Warna yang agak pale dan perabot sederhana membuatkan ruang menjadi lebih tenang dan unik. Mereka tidak rigid dengan ketetapan tipikal perabot moden. Kecuali cabinet dapur 100% modern. Overall soothing touch.
This is just stunning !
Thanks for your kind words!
Great location; exquisite design.
It really is! Thanks for watching 🥰
It’s a beautiful restoration 🎉
Thank you! We're glad you appreciate it! 😊
Great job with the conservation.
We couldn't agree more. Thank you for watching, Justin! 😄
That colour palettes is really something.
Beautiful!
Oh giving village house vibe in tamil nadu 😀
they're local Singaporeans.. not born in India .. and its Balinese inspired and Rajasthan
@@lishr4536 Not sure why you had to point out where the couple were born. Irrespective of their birthplace or their ethnic origin, the house shows influence from India and indeed, from pan Asia. The courtyards are representative of village houses in Tamil Nadu, and the carved panels show elements from Rajasthan. The influence of Sri Lankan art and colors, and of Bali, can be seen as well.
It totally is!
@@Cactina because the main commenter said its giving village house vibe in tamil nadu... assuming he knew where they were from and what villages even look like in Tamil Nadu and it honestly sounds racist to me. to zoom in on just Tamil Nadu aspect and not touch on Balinese or Rajasthan influence in the comments highlights to me that the main commenter might be one of those Anti-CECA ppl.
@@lishr4536 Why is it racist to say the house is giving vibes of a village in Tamil Nadu, and not racist to say its giving Bali and Rajasthan vibes? It could be that the original commentor doesn't know about the home's Balinese and Rajasthani influences- that doesn't make them racist! And they are correct- the layout of the home, its courtyard, etc, are very similar to rural homes in Tamil Nadu. You made a very unkind and biased comment simply based on assumptions.
the kitchen is the best part of the house
Thank you, Reggy!
Very tasteful and unique. Curious, can the roof area be converted to a mezzanine or attic?
Thanks for watching!
Damn… the Reno cost. But definitely no problem for their occupations lol
Very nice!
Thank you, Edward! Cheers! 😍
Beautifu
😍
🥰
Too many heavy pieces scattered around and the clashing colours gives this tasteless home an almost industrial vibe 😫
Interesting take! It's all about personal taste, right? 😊
Too many clunky and chunky pieces that makes the house so heavy. Also, the Repetitive use of furnishing pieces and material makes it looks dull. The lighting pieces wasn’t great. It has lots of potential though.
Thanks for sharing!
Not nice at all. There are tons of beautifully restored shophouses out there, definitely not this one
You are just jealous.
@@sirjohnpiraan1662 why must I be jealous when I have a better house than them. Wake up your idea!
Nice or not is subjective la. I wouldn't say the house is not nice but its just plain and empty. Looks like a rental.
@@AR-ek1jrthey did say it's an investment, they don't live in it
half a million gone just like that.... so nice to be rich
