The Shophouse

Shophouses—a historical source of delight and nostalgia—are a prevalent building type in #Singapore’s #architectural and built #heritage. These buildings are generally two- to three- storeys high, built in contiguous blocks with common party walls. They are narrow, small terraced houses, with a sheltered ‘five foot’ pedestrian way at the front.

Constructed between the 1840s and the 1960s, these shophouses formed the majority of the pre-World War 2 #urbanfabric of the old city centre as well as several other parts of Singapore. They are also commonly found throughout the #historiccities of South East Asia.

Shophouses therefore form the bulk of our gazetted #conservation buildings. The key elements of the #shophouses have been carefully restored and conserved according to our #conservation guidelines.
