Conserved single-storey terrace houses built on raised ground along East Coast Road, Katong, Singapore


These unusual single-storey terrace houses stand beside a former sea wall where the beach used to be and were built on raised ground to protect against the rising tides then. The architectural style is also unique, an eclectic mix of traditional local architecture infused with Western influence, seen in the elaborate fascia boards and decorative plaster motifs.
