About 1953
The Shophouse foundationThe archetypal Singapore shophouse is a two or three-storeybuilding with a commercial shop on the ground floor and living accommodations above. The ground floor sits back from the road, while an overhanging veranda is supported by a brace of columns –creating the distinctive five-footway, a feature introduced by Sir Stamford Raffles through the Town Planning Committee of 1822, as part of his town plan for early Singapore.
Shophouses were built with symmetry and orientation in mind. When possible, they were built along the north-south axis, according to the ancient belief of universal balance. Within the house, the main hall, seen as the most important part of the house, sat at the back (north) of the house while facing the entrance (south). The front of the house served as a courtyard where guests were traditionally received and entertained.
Art Deco Shophouse Style (1930-1960)
The Art Deco Shophouse Style is distinguished by streamlined motifs (such as column orders, arches and keystones) and the lesser use of decorative wall tiles. Often, this style of shophouse emphasizes proportion and composition of an entire grouping of similar building, with a special focus on the street corners. A typical feature of the Art Deco Shophouse Style is a visible plaque bearing the date of the building’s construction.
