Cultivating the soil for café hopping and gentrification in Lavender, the conservation shophouse prepares to welcome a wider group of tenants. The renewal of a 5,700 sq ft mixed-use conservation shophouse was to create space for restaurant operations and transitional living. 

The 4-storeys conservation shophouse sits in an unrivalled location, equidistant between Lavender and Little India stations, and within easy walking distance of Bendeemer station. It benefits from its existing base build, with views of the energetic Jalan Besar Stadium. However, the building’s finishes falls below requirements and occupier expectations, with common areas tired from time.

The high-impact, targeted retrofit strategy delivered frills-free features to complement the building’s simple and distinct architectural features, to achieve a balance between clean aesthetics and an effortless inviting space.
