Koon Seng Road, Heritage street in Joo Chiat, Singapore
Multi-colored terrace houses with tall facades line both sides of the street, displaying geometric patterns and floral designs on ceramic tiles throughout their architecture.
The Urban Redevelopment Authority designated this street for conservation in 1993, leading to its recognition as part of Singapore's first Heritage Town by 2011.
The houses reflect the influence of Peranakan Chinese settlers who established their residences here in 1927, incorporating their architectural preferences into the building designs.
Visitors can reach the street via a 15-minute walk from either Eunos or Paya Lebar MRT stations, with buses 33, 16, and 966 stopping nearby.
The houses maintain an elongated floor plan due to historical tax regulations that calculated fees based on the width of building facades.
