Chinese Shophouse
Image# sg003

Typical architecture of Chinese communities in Southeast Asia, these colourful shophouses are now protected by the Singapore government to preserve some of the city's architectural heritage. These three-storey buildings traditionally provided commercial space on the ground floor and living space for the owner's family on the top two.
