Heritage Meets Modernity
Shaped by the rich heritage of the renowned Balestier where
history creates its milestone, 1953 stands beautifully with
a conserved facade to add on to the legacy. The uprising
modernity will be an iconic landmark in the locale where
new chapters unfold in a precinct full of characters and
conveniences. Welcome to 1953.
the influence
ART DECO STYLE
By the mid 1900s, modern advances in technology in the
world as well as post war economy started to exert influence
on shophouse architecture. As the world was introduced to
airliners, ships, and motorcars, shophouses also began to
reflect the wonders of the Machine Age. The organically
inspired ornamentation of the earlier period was discarded
in favour of more streamlined designs, curved corners and
strong horizontal lines. Geometric shapes, zigzag roofs and
flagpoles were also common.
Balestier Road Serangoon WHERE CAN YOU FIND THEM?
Cavan Road Other then Tiong Bahru, Art Deco shophouses can be found in
Bukit Pasoh Bukit Pasoh – most notably the Dong Ya building, which now
Club Street Tiong Bahru houses Potato Head. An adaptive form of Art Deco, termed
Tropical Deco can also be found in shophouses along Club
Street and Cavan Road.

BALESTIER heritagE
Rich in heritage, history and architecture to most locals and
H1
even tourist, Balestier offers not only heritage and pretty
shophouses and the area might just become the next hip
neighbourhood of Singapore. From Bak Kut Teh and Chicken
Rice to cosy cafes and fancy bikes - Balestier has more to
offer than one might expect.
The pulsating Balestier Road, running like a vein through
the neighbourhood, was named after Joseph Balestier, who
was the first American Consul to Singapore in the early 19th
century. Originally occupied by sugar cane fields, the area
was filled with cotton factories in the early 1900s. As Balestier
became populated in the following decades, the popular Art
Deco style became the new face of local houses. In 1986
the architecturally famous Balestier Point building opened
on the site of the former Ruby Theatre, which was a symbol
for Balestier once being an entertainment district.
Balestier is located in the planning area of Novena, the
central region of Singapore. The area is home to rows of
shophouses, low-rise apartments, condominiums, hotels and
commercial buildings as well as a shopping mall. There are
also several lighting and electrical shops along Balestier
Road, it is also home to Ceylon Sports Club. Preserving
the unique features and holding memories of historical
moments, Balestier Road tells the tale that spans nearly
180 years and is a borne witness to Singapore’s remarkable
journey from a British trading post to modern city-state.
ART DECO SHOPHOUSE
The Art Deco architecture style was developed in Europe and the United States
during the 1920s-1930s. They are a stark contrast from their surrounding
buildings, almost as if someone had transplanted these buildings from 1930s
America and stuck them in the middle of Balestier Road, sticking out like
the proverbial “sore thumb”. The building on the left was one of the nightlife
hotspots in Balestier. This was around the 1940s and 50s. The region housed
some 70,000 people and along this road were at least three theatres and a
bustling nightlife. The Hoover Theatre opened in 1960 screening westerns,
Chinese variety shows and Indian films. It closed in 1996 and is now being
reconverted into a hotel.
NEO-CLASSICAL STYLE HOUSES
Along the Pegu Road and Martaban Road, these roads are special for their
pre-war terrace houses. These houses were built in a European, neo-classical
style and were arranged to follow the gentle slope upwards. It’s quite different
from the Baba House or the houses along Blair Plains. One can enjoy this
appealing walk uphill without a ‘cut’ at each apartment in a place more
western than asian.
SIM KWONG HO SHOPHOUSE
Built in 1926, “Sim Kwong Ho” shophouse proved to be a point
of intrigue due to the inscription on the front of the building best
known for its Chinese Baroque-style motifs. The introduction of
the Chinese Baroque style was due to a rubber boom, where
the newly rich showed off their wealth on their new buildings by
ornamenting it with European architectural styles and features,
while retaining their distinct Eastern influence and local flavours.
Along Balestier Road are a
