Shophouses are a distinct part of Kampong Glam’s identity and are an important building type in Singapore’s architectural heritage. They form the majority of conservation buildings in Singapore.
Shophouses share a basic generic design, with a narrow frontage, typically four to six metres, and a depth of at least two to three times the width. They are simple buildings of two or three storeys. While some were used solely as residences, a shophouse can have business premises on the lower floor and a residential dwelling above, making it ideal for small-scale family businesses.
