JURY CITATION
An excellent approach to the problems of the renovation of the shophouse. Intervention of the traditional air-well as a re-interpretation was very well handled with the ability to penetrate spaces. The success of the scheme is in not taking the traditional approach to conservation in terms of creating spaces and use of materials.
The road is actually named after Cheong Koon Seng, born in the 1800′, who was one of the first thirteen students at Singapore’s Anglo-Chinese School. Until the 1970’s, the area was inhabited by Peranakan Chinese, which explains the colourful and unique Chinese architecture to be found in the area.
The houses were built in the 1920’s and 1930’s but it was until the early 90’s that they were to be officially marked for conservation.
These perfectly painted Peranakan-themed houses (Peranakan meaning descendants of Chinese immigrants who came to the Malay archipelago) are now a popular spot for budding photographers, tourists and fashion models visiting.
