Design Intent
Adapt a conserved Peranakan shophouse for contemporary serviced accommodation while preserving its architectural character and creating a calm, comfortable, and intuitive guest experience.
Project Outcome
A distinctive hospitality setting where heritage character and contemporary comfort are seamlessly integrated. Thoughtful spatial planning, natural materials, and restrained interventions support privacy, ease of use, and a strong sense of place.
Reinterpreting Heritage for Contemporary Living
Heritage buildings demand careful judgement from the outset. Within this conserved shophouse, the design needed to introduce contemporary comfort while keeping the original spatial character clearly legible.
Existing proportions, timber elements, and architectural details establish the foundation for each intervention. Soft neutral finishes and natural materials create a calm residential rhythm, while clear spatial transitions support privacy and ease, allowing historic character to remain present within a contemporary hospitality experience.
