Nestled along the quaint street of Craig Road lies this pair of conserved landmark shophouses, just minutes away from Tanjong Pagar and Outram Park MRT stations.
Craig Road, nestled in Tanjong Pagar, is named after Captain James Craig, an officer in the Merchant Service Guild and member of the Freemason Zetland Lodge. The area around Craig Road carries a rich narrative rooted in its past as part of a nutmeg plantation was owned by a medical doctor, William Montgomerie. Following Montgomerie’s death in 1856, the houses along Craig Road were auctioned off to Ker, Rawson & Co.
In this property, the design harmonises the building’s historic architecture with a reductive, contemporary aesthetic. The interior deliberately expresses the raw, exposed materials with perfectly finished ceiling volumes that conceal ambient lighting elements, enhancing the raw structural beams. Walls of unfinished brick and screed stand in contrast to ultra high-end ivory travertine in the pantry and bathroom areas emphasises a stark sense of modern luxury. This design philosophy encapsulates the site’s evolution, preserving the gritty essence of its history while embracing the sleek sophistication of the present.
After Singapore’s independence in 1965, rapid upgrading and urbanisation transformed Craig Road from a residential zone into a vibrant commercial street lined with colourful shophouses. These shophouses, a blend of cultural and architectural heritage, now host trendy cafes, restaurants, and businesses, symbolising the area’s dynamic evolution. Today, colourful shophouses line the streets, populated with picturesque shops, cafes and restaurants. Craig Road should enjoy a further transformation after the completion of the Great Southern Waterfront project planned by the URA.
