Shophouses
A colourful blend of style and function
Shophouses are a distinctive architectural feature in Singapore, blending residential and commercial spaces. Typically two to three stories high, they were built between the 1840s and 1960s. A unique element is the “five-foot way,” a covered walkway providing pedestrians with shelter from the elements. These structures showcase a fusion of Chinese, Malay, and European design influences, reflecting Singapore’s multicultural heritage.
