Project Summary
Temasek Shophouse demonstrates how heritage properties can be reimagined to remain relevant, contemporary and sustainable without erasure. Through adaptive reuse, four century-old shophouses were reprogrammed into an expanded social impact hub. The rich layering of pre-war architectural elements was brought forward with contemporary touches, allowing it to be a medium for storytelling Singapore’s urban history.
- Temasek Shophouse also employs integrated passive and active design strategies to achieve up to 47% energy savings. It is on track to become Singapore’s first heritage shophouse to achieve the BCA Green Mark Platinum Zero Energy certification and International WELL Building Institute WELL Certification (Platinum)
