1 room studio of 54 m² in Newton

About the House The home’s design and the names of its studios are a nod to the area’s history as a Peranakan enclave, highlighting key motifs in Peranakan culture and the everyday artful objects that would have featured in these homes. The Chinese couplets on the window shutters immediately outside the home also suggest the hopes for all who inhabit it – a home for like-minded people to grow together; a connection between current and future generations; and abundant prosperity. Cuppage House is named after William Cuppage, Singapore’s Postmaster General and Superintendent of Police. Cuppage leased Emerald Hill and moved there to start a nutmeg plantation in the mid-19th century. This eventually failed due to disease. After his death, the property passed to his children and it has since changed hands a few times.
